>An average engineer can do almost anything a top engineer can, but for a much lower price. They cost-to-value ratio favors average engineers.

I think there's a fallacy here. An 'average engineer' hasn't got a much lower salary than a 'top engineer'.

My take is that it's worth paying above average in order to hire and retain above average engineers and above average technical managers.

Benefits can include smaller teams and better quality code, which leads to cost savings that compound over time.
Thank you for your reply - it is highly informative.
Not to mention some weird climate change that may associate with having a 1,300’ wall separating the coastal area from the inland.

Anyone remember the crazy Russian Scientist whose Soviet government almost started to fund that Bering Strait dam just so USSR can increase usable landmass that the warmer climate of Siberia can bring, anyone?

That project surely would have gotten started if US hadn’t committed a Seward’s Folly (having bought Alaska from Tsar Russia).

They had to make more money than they made last year. In other words, public companies that don't grow die. So public companies, opting for less profitable non-evil ways will be capitalized out by companies that does not have that reservation.

In other words, currently, the world IS an evil place and will grow more evil with each passing day...

Nutrition information is source from USDA FDC database: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/, which provides fairly comprehensive coverage for fresh foods and vegetables.

Besides produce/meat, the database also provides nutrition info for 300,000+ branded packaged foods (search by name or barcode).

In addition, you can create new foods and add them to your kitchen.
I'd also like to see that study but I also want to see them chart the impact of posing with multiple cats. Is there an elbow curve or just a linear trendline?
I love the idea behind this project. I was considering getting one but I simply needed better battery life out of a laptop. I ended up getting a MacBook Pro instead but I’ll definitely look to see if that’s improved the next time I need an upgrade.
> we know that the subset of R that can be used directly has measure zero

The cardinality of the natural number set is the same as the cardinality of the rational number set. So, in some sense, you are saying that we know that the natural counting numbers are "real," which is a self-evident truth. In another sense, you are saying that fractions of an inch/cm/etc are "real" which is another self-evident truth.

The question is whether uncountable infinity somehow exits in nature (in the case of real numbers, it is a question about the infinitesimally small scale). To say that it's a "polite fiction to make some proofs works" is too strong a statement, we do not know the answer to that question. At the same time, our measurement instrument will always be discrete and bounded, so the question is seemingly beyond science itself.
> It is not a "user-hostile attitude" to remove features. Every project that does some kind of user study will do this eventually, because:

I'd argue that it's not necessarily user hostile. You can definitely do it in a way that is user hostile however.
Your evidence is lacking in evidence. NY isn’t Florida, and federal gas taxes have nothing to do with state roads within New York. New York roads are paid with New York gas taxes and New York road tolls.

As for the rest of your ideas they are trying to implement most of those just to cover other budget shortfalls. And they aren’t going to generate anywhere NEAR $19 billion per year.

Good luck convincing the highest taxed city in America to add $19 billion in additional taxes.
Male dateability centers around muscle mass. Pick up iron, not cats
Did that "programme" improve or worsen his performance, though? Unless he was able to train harder perhaps.
Yeah, as a fan of cats: these results are exactly as I'd hope.

Cats rarely like being posed with. Neither of those pictures have happy-looking cats. If those are representative images, I'd be ranking less-date-able too, a possible inability to understand their pet is not a positive sign.

Pictures involving a cat willingly snuggling up to the subject may perform very differently. E.g. nearly all of these look good, and showcase very different cat-language: https://welovecatsandkittens.com/cat-pictures/12-adorable-ph...
Cronometer is pretty great. However...

It's multi-user support is... entirely non-existent. And they seem rather uninterested in feedback.
I'd happily pay them for a feature where I could easily make dinner, and split it between multiple users. But no, I have to save a "recipe" (which stays in the DB forever) and then add a portion of that recipe from the other user's account.

So a family-based offering is definitely an interesting idea!
Solar fans really want to cover entire countries in panels, instead of just building nuclear power

"We just need the political will to destroy another nation" is what you just said. Look carefully.

We can't reliably move power on America' three grids, but you want the world wired up

Peaks aren't local. If Germany is peaking, so is all of Europe. There isn't a bunch of other stuff to draw from.

People start by assuming that the rest of the world can cope, but that is not how Europe works today. Look into why Germany keeps having to sell power for negative prices.

It's like believing that in a heavy rain storm, you can just give your excess water to your neighbors. But you can't: they have excess water too. During a drought, they have nothing to share.
>> If they rejected you based on your profile, you wouldn't know would you?

I guess you wouldn't know, but that seems like a good thing.

As a cat-dad, i used to put my cat on some profile photos. Why even bother wasting time on someone who doesn't like cats and/or isn't open-minded to cats? Best to filter them out asap.
What am I missing? S&P is down 10% yearly, 17% YTD, no? When "safe" investments are looking worse than keeping your money in the bank getting hit with inflation, rational people start getting desperate and scams explode.

Anyone who has lived in emerging markets knows the sentence soon becomes "Don't invest in <previous safe investment> more than you can afford to lose."

And the last stage in such countries ends up being: "Don't put more dollars in your bank than you can afford to lose" (because your failing bank or country will confiscate it).

Until you reach this stage the number of scams increases exponentially.
Yes. It's not hard to find exactly what you're asking for. Search "startups that succeeded" on your favorite search engine, there's an enormous number of them.

In fact, some of those startups which unseated the big tech companies in the domains they operate in have been unseated themselves since they first unseated the big tech companies!

> It's just another startup source-available license parading "I want to be open source on GitHub.. but gosh please don't use my code without paying me!!"

Isn't it "please don't create a competing service to us"? Considering how many tech startups struggled with that very same problem, it's a completely understandable concern. Some, like Sentry, have a time limited license - BSL for 2 years and then it switches to Apache/MIT. Sounds like a pretty good compromise.

> Companies should stop instructing Heather to create these licenses IMO, and just split their code into open source and enterprise-only parts. It's easier, more honest, and ends this whole debate. It's the GitLab/Sourcegraph model too.

It's not easier for them, because the codebase is split, they have to consider which features go where, potentially piss off people by moving features to the enterprise only parts (e.g. InfluxData). And that doesn't stop an Amazon selling your open core version with some custom additions.
The MTA is also known for being riddled with mismanagement and waste. If they worked on optimizing their use of funds/directed funds towards worthwhile improvements, credible vendors, and rooted out waste/corruption, that number would likely be a bit (maybe more than a bit) lower.

Good luck with listing "problem solver" as a skill in your resume. I don't think anybody will care about it.

As an experiment, one can create two resumes with different identities where the first one is listing Nim as a skill and the other one is listing Java and Spring as skills, and apply to the same jobs. I wonder what the ratio of replies will be.

That's interesting, I would have guessed the opposite - that you might be thought of as having a more caring or loving side if you had a pet. As a dog owner myself I've met a couple of partners just through them coming up to see me about my dog in a pub or a cafe. I never thought it was down to being perceived as more masculine though, I just assumed that it gives anyone who might be interested a really simple excuse to strike up a conversation and introduce themselves, but in a way that avoids figuring out how ask someone out directly.
In Argentina, many people that what the state gives can really be free. Just talk with people from Argentina, ask in forums, if you know people from the country ask them, ask in reddit.

YouTube doesn't care. At the very least for some large creators, they will just demonetize them rather than a blanket suspension as commonly done with smaller creators. Perhaps they will spin it to say they are saving money due to the hostile economic environment.

Either way, YouTube has always abandoned its empty 'mission statement':

> Our mission is to give everyone a voice and show them the world.

> We believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share and build community through our stories.

They will never change and it will only get more worse.

Popular culture can help us out.

When the villain has a 'personal pet', as opposed to a shark tank or alligators, it's generally a cat. Though sometimes dogs, either a Doberman or German shepherd. So, relatively big dogs.

I don't recall the hero ever having a pet.

Maybe this is the proof for the trope that women prefer the bad boy?

Yes, that’s why it only supports specific C compilers.

Anything that includes its own memory allocator (that doesn’t call malloc()) is probably not implemented in standardized C.
This is something I've wanted to find as well, I searched awhile back for large scale printer services and I came up basically empty handed. If you search reddit, there are recommendations but to be honest most of them seemed kind of too expensive for me.

I'm planning to buy my own large format printer used on craigslist and learn to print large format myself. These printers are really expensive, and the heads can get gummed up easily but I'm hoping there's a way to make it pay for itself (renting it to friends, etc).

For anything smaller, you are probably better off finding a local photography printer and paying them, or just go buy an inkjet.
Community college can be a great investment in some cases, definitely. Especially for people who struggle with setting goals and self-discipline. If you have self-discipline and know what you want to be able to do, there can be a lot of unnecessary time waste in the classroom.

I would be curious to break down and audit time against 4 buckets of things you will learn. Things you "need to know", "ought to know", "don't need" and "don't actually understand". I wonder how long it takes to fill each bucket and how much faster the latter two grow.

Experience is the best teacher of all and additional schooling is the biggest barrier to useful experience.
Nuance and understanding, too, it seems.

They said "ex engineer", but nobody bothered asking what they worked on or why they left. Instead, you've got a bunch of people suggesting that they should be kept out of the rest of society because their resume says "Facebook". Boggles the mind.
Yeah, like, sadly when I see [MDPI + interesting title] my reflex is to switch to "how did they p-hack, publish underpowered studies, or otherwise mess up the stats"-mode, and that's probably not the worst prior to have...
I mean I could also argue that they're contributor hostile, but that would just be another rehash.
Thank you. My second citation was to show that solar availability in summer drops by about 6. My assertion about peak AC was based on your citation. Actually, I thought that I had linked to it in my post. My intention was to link to the other two and that one; somehow that got lost; a case of too many tabs, maybe.
It has not been "utterly and completely" locked up for years. Each member has been acting in its own interests, but even in times of poor international relationships, there is sometimes agreement by all on a particular matter.

300TW is 1.2% of 26000TW, not 0.12%.

Where do we get this 300TW number from? Does this include heating in winter, cooling in summer, fuel for moving goods and people in cars, trains, ships, airplanes, agriculture future energy consumption, and the energy needed to remove CO2 that has been created as per the proposal in the article at the top of this thread?

So the sun shone, for a billion years, to keep it simple, 26000 TW per year, and the photosynthesis on the surface of the ocean only saved what, projected oil reserves another 100 years, 60k TW at best? That puts photosyntheses of the ocean surface chloroplasts converted into oil at 0.0000001% efficiency. Either that or there's triple digits orders of magnitude more oil under the surface we don't know about. You believe that?

And suppose that is true. That would mean the amount of carbon coming from it is absolutely miniscule. Think of the number of tons of carbon dioxide that could've been in the atmosphere when the photosynthesis started, subtract out what would've been locked up to store this miniscule amount of energy, that's what you get, hardly anything. We know that's not true, so we can safely guess that the energy from photosynthesis that was stored was significantly more efficient than 0.0000001%, if it weren't you wouldn't have a climate crisis, which means humans use much more than 300TW. And that's just currently.

Wherever you're getting these consumption numbers from, they're just simply not possible. The carbon that has been produced in the last 100 years outweighs the amount that would be released from oil during that time if it were constant 300TW yearly, let alone with the comparatively small amount 100 years ago.
Support systems have absolutely nothing to do with holding anyone accountable ever, and I don't know why you think they would.

Is this random guy making 8.50 supposed to read your mind? The person reading your brilliant commentary is not going to send it upwards for you. Literally the only person reading it is the guy you sent it to.

You're acting like the random support guy is an idiot, and when you do that he's going to also assume you're an idiot, because you're acting like one when you send a message to one guy and say "you're dense" while actually referring to some third party.

How do I learn an new domain from scratch?
I am looking to start studying a new domain as a complete novice. In this case I am learning about the energy sector and innovation, in both the public and private sector (and the overlaps).

What are the best ways to:
-Learn a new domain from the ground up
-Keep track of what I've learned
-Write about the topic as I learn

I have tried Evernote and some of the academic PDF organizers from my time in school. I've heard good things about physical flashcards or programs that link ideas to created connected graphs.

Ideally, I would use the tool with the least friction and spend my mental energy on learning the subject matter.
thank you for sharing this!
I read through the site's about and I really enjoy how the creator wanted to stick to a specific area for quality over quantity.
> What is a power user?

A user who has spent a lot of time with Vim, is intimately familiar with multiple ways vim handles text, and all the arcane shortcuts, and created their own workflows

And even then it depends. I've seen people spend more time craeating macros and replays than me on the same task using a simple tool like multiple cursors.

> "Proper" refactoring and context-aware selection are absolutely possible with a properly configured vim (or neovim) install

"Out of the box" beats "properly configured" for the absolute vast majority of users. And I've yet to see the "properly configured Vim" from the self-professed Vim masters that is to do anything faster than what I do with Idea on a daily basis.

It is! Calling them 'imaginary' seems like a misnomer, they're just a different _kind_ of number. It becomes much clearer when you plot it in 2D space.

The number line is just one dimension of the possibly infinite dimensions you can plot a number in.

We're just labelling numbers wrong.
Not to mention the w/cat photos show poor posture and funny (my interpretation) hair.

The w/o cat photos also show the faces straight on, which makes them look more masculine. ie. thicker neck, more prominent jawline. There are too many subtle differences to list.

I'd like to see this done with identical photos with only the cat being the difference. My belief is that the results would be similar, but with a smaller significance.
The US healthcare system is not a public service. Nor are the trains in Tokyo.

That's an enormous topic that is hard for me to treat here. Knowing that it's a thing you should do is a great first step though. Find more experienced people in your context willing to mentor you and critically listen to what they say.
Man <-> dog connection comes from their historical role of dogs as work animals and men being in those professions. Herding, hunting, guarding, ratting, war, etc.

Cats are used as mousers/ratters. But that's it for cat jobs and they do that independently, not with a human cohort.
I have a feeling it's the simple fact that most bird species can fly and many of those species migrate incredible distances. This means (1) bird populations spread out and (2) they face survival pressure across multiple ecosystems.
