It is hard to get any new project online in three months, but surely Europe will be really really serious about energy saving this winter, it might be a good idea to buy a few more pullovers..
Do we need yet another site that recommends the same 10 books? I think practically every search for the best dev books will list Code Complete and The Mythical Man Month at this point

Hey! After 4 years in technical consultancy working with enterprise scale clients, I am looking for a move away from consultancy into a role where I can take ownership of my work over a longer period of time.
I see myself primarily as a cloud-native engineer and the majority in my experience would typically fall under the DevOps/platform engineering banner. However the variety of opportunity I have had in my current role has helped me develop as a generalist and I have experience with AWS, Python, Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Go and some light web development (React & Vue 3). As such I consider myself flexible and am open to tacking any technical challenges!

Please get in touch if you'd like to have a chat - I'm more than happy to share my LinkedIn & CV privately.
How do you see: “I know the reality of unavoidable climate catastrophe is uncomfortable to talk about.”

As a suggestion of “fixable” they literally said it was unavoidable.
I don't think it's so much wanting Google scripts to have special treatment, but pushing the script teams to prioritize performance too, just like the Chrome and page speed teams.
Oh, that's nice and I do agree about that! I've noticed go does that sort of thing, too (hugo, etc).Some of these systems out there include so many moving parts that it's really difficult to just even try them out (i.e. supabase vs pocketbase).
"...I cancelled my subscription to my formerly favourite online news portal (the German “Spiegel-Online”)..."

Very good. Spiegel Online - unfortunately - became terribly bad over the last years, with click-bait headlines, sensational reporting as well as pushing fear & anxiety throughout their articles.
There will always be someone somewhere who will offer to do your work cheaper than you.

I would much rather be paid based on skill than based on location. I think people should be able to make the case that indeed they are more productive than X people from Y location. If not, by all means higher the cheaper people and see how that turns out.

For those middling developers who are adversely affected it would make sense that they focus on jobs where location is more important.
My ideal "day off" is basically aimlessly wandering around my city. During the walk, my brain just goes on its own adventure. After a full day of that, I'm always amazingly relaxed.
Is gender real? No, gender is a societal construct that describes the presentation of males and females.

Therefore, if gender isn’t real, gender dysphoria isn’t real.

If society had no concept of gender, it is highly likely that far less people would report feeling they should have the sex organs of their opposite sex instead of what they have now, especially if they had no previous exposure or experience with such organs. Personally, of all the things that appeal to me about being a woman, the vagina is probably very low on the list.

Just because people are affected by this, does not mean they are being affected by something real.
It is said that Napoleon did not open his mail for 3 weeks after it arrived. His belief was that most issues would resolve themselves and were therefore unimportant for him to attend to.

If you go back and watch the news from 2-3 weeks ago it is amazing how much of it is just nonsense. It's especially hard to go back and watch covid discussions from a year ago and hear just how wrong most information was.
why is efficiency never discussed in public?

I live in a small city of about 60k. To get to work I drive through a city of 350k, 50k, 20k, then into a city of 250k. Each of these cities is 5-10 miles apart. It's a straight shot on the freeway, there isn't much traffic. We average 75mph on the freeway with room for people to go faster and slower. America is a big place. Problems New Yorkers have with cars/parking are different that much of the country.
Not French, but it doesn't sound that weird. I think my grandmother (an accountant) once told me that the general principle is that an employee should be worth at least three times their salary for the employment to make sense financially.
Yes, but not being able to recover the account, is a bug.

The issue was that I used a randomly-generated password from 1Password, and accidentally re-generated, before copying, so the original was lost.

That's a fairly common mistake. I'm usually careful to avoid that (now).

I've been an IC, tech lead, manager, and founder doing frontend/backend/ops-y stuff in data and developer tool companies for the last 10 years. Worked for a series A startup, Oracle, and smaller companies.

Spent the last year build open-source data tools for developers (github.com/multiprocessio) up to 5,000+ cumulative stars, 8,000+ downloads, ~300 monthly users, and over 10 posts on the front of HN in the last 8 months. See https://multiprocess.io/blog and https://notes.eatonphil.com.

I'm up for chatting about management and IC positions (and chatting with one group about joining as a cofounder). Just looking for something interesting and challenging. :)
"So while I firmly believe we're basically just overgrown biological computers, we're apparently computers programmed by batshit insane drunkards in Visual Basic 5."

This explains... everything.
“For Dixon, this is a tiny hint at a deeper physical connection between the two amplitudes, and a reason to think something similar might hold in the Standard Model. “But it’s pretty weak,” he said. “It’s, like, secondhand information.””

This appears to be a development in a toy model. It might or might not apply to the standard model.

Still, at least it isn't a condensed matter experiment being misconstrued as a particle physics breakthrough.
Wouldn't any craft using this engine be ripped to shreds by microscopic debris?
Germany re-opening coal mines that were closed 10 years ago https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/01/germany-coal...

Honestly I'm not sure if coal is worse than shipping gas from the gulf (which produces lots of CO2 from the compressing and shipping)
Yeah.. but an "I don't have my phone" button that just tells people to use their phone is equally worthless.

I don't know what the right answer is, but that certainly isn't it.
This. Patriarchy sort of collectively defines the "emotion" out of the ways that men act out. When women cry, they're being emotional, when men get angry, it's a rational response to people acting the wrong way. (Not to mention the fact that the idea of being "emotional" is itself, considered bad somehow!) When you start to notice the ways that men act out emotionally for what they are, it becomes apparent that men are easily as emotional as women (I'd argue much more so), it just manifests in ways that society has deemed manly.
In my experience it's always been easier both growing and solving organometallic compounds. Borrowing the phase from previously solved structures is trivial for organometallic compounds which simplifies the density modeling while the fact that most organometallic compounds lack the chirality found in every protein generally means they pack into higher symmetry groups facilitating the growth of larger high quality crystals.
> it’s clear that something about the situation requires professional evaluation.

One of the problems is that the kids themselves are so awash in information and misinformation about this stuff, including awareness of how things are defined in the DSM-V, that they can muddy up your attempts at evaluating them.

It's kind of like if you take enough personality tests, like the MBTI, you eventually just sort of know how each question is being evaluated and you can, consciously or unconsciously, start optimizing your responses around the result that lines up with your narrative about yourself but isn't necessarily the most honest set of answers.
I'm not sure if there's a JS shim or not, but rust has been a supported language for a long time with that workflow: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/tutorials/hello-wo...

I’m curious because I’ve had kids early. Will I ever be able to catch up with peers who’ve decided their focus would be on their job and forego having children later in life?
the chicken and the egg, or the thought and the word.
The "player" spending this money is the content creator Jtisallbusiness. Self professed as "THE NUMBER ONE YOUTUBER FOR CASTLE CLASH & OTHER MOBILE GAMING CONTENT!", this looks like a business pouring expense money into a micro-transaction game and drumming up PR.

It would be more disturbing if players at this end of the spending curve _didn't_ encounter game-breaking issues. I'd be more alarmed if the headline read: "After $100K, YouTuber professes, 'This is where the game gets fun.'"

Résumé/CV: https://reactivity.ai/cv/at2022.pdf

Email: at@reactivity.ai

A consultant-level full stack software engineer with a background in quant finance (both traditional and crypto), distributed computing and simulations. I am interested in research-intensive projects and companies who are doing something that never has been done before. I am particularly interested in computational physics / CFD simulations, quantum computing (photonic QC in particular) and semantic analysis / natural language processing.

Most recently I was working with the University of Geneva and CERN to build a complex geospatial planet-scale COVID spreading simulation. Before that, I have built a Monte Carlo simulation platform for US equity markets. I am very open for other interesting areas, of course.
The job I got the offer from moved after than the others. Also two of the companies had hiring freezes and eliminated the position while I was interviewing.
> Because boys are allowed to play with dolls. And shouldn't be diagnosed as being trans or having gender dysphoria. It's not a sign of anything.

Yep, I meant exactly this.

I mean... take the clothes away, and Action Man and (barbie's) Ken are practically the same doll.
> upside-down on the retina due to optics

This is completely arbitrary when you think about it. Why would the physical orientation of the brain and its inputs necessarily have to have any correlation with anything? You don't expect it to have any meaning whether you plug in an HDMI cable vertically or horizontally, or what direction your RAM chips face. If someone turned your brain sideways or upside down while keeping the "cables" in tact you wouldn't even know it.

I still haven't found an AT command manifest.

It appears as if we are supposed to figure out what various commands are, by reading the firmware spec, at different parts of the docs.

Without that unified AT command reference, I'm not even gonna try (for now, at least). My dance card is too full, to spend a bunch of time, with my BLE explorer, testing out commands.

If they published it, I’d probably scare up a cross-[Apple]-platform BLE-based SDK. I already have the BLE part written[0]. This is used in my BLE Explorer App[1], or the test harnesses could be used to explore the device. It would just be a matter of writing the command interpreter.

I'll extend off of your great commentary and suggest that the letter/small correspondence delivery portion of the USPS (not the parcel/package delivery segment) should be collaborating with U.S. libraries to establish more digital infrastructure for citizens; especially those who lack what others might consider the digital basics. This could include free/low cost email, local instances of ActivityPub servers, matrix (or other secure, but open source equivalent) chat services, etc. I understand this would open up many issues, and not an easy fix...but if more and more things are truly becoming more digitized, then government (and government-adjacent) services should not just evolve, but also help the citizenry evolve to take advantage of said services. At that point, i can imagine a scenario where if such a free/low cost email service were available, the likes of google and microsoft could not block digital correspondence since there would be at least some regulatory framework/policy in place to avoid such issues. Again, none of this is easy, but i feel the path forward can still leverage gov. entities - like libraris and USPS - that have greatly helped citizens in the past throughout our history.

New Zealand’s high court found the lottery system used to allocate quarantine spots and the wait time infringed on its citizens’ rights, not forcing a quarantine.

However, Mallon did find that requiring returning New Zealanders to quarantine was not in itself an unjustified infringement.

ADHD I have some experience with and can agree with you. I think it is mostly just a different mode of thinking that simply isn’t very compatible with sitting in a chair for hours listening to boring lectures. OCD is similar. The mental line between crippling OCD and a highly successful professional career with a reputation of being a “perfectionist” is a thin one. I’ve seen this line crossed, with tragic results…

All that said, I think awareness of mental illness and self-mis-diagnosis largely isn’t the primary problem. The successful person who became a crippling OCD shut-in was convinced OCD was a myth until it was far too late. If only they took it seriously while they still had enough functioning to follow therapy instructions, they might be in a much healthier state right now.

Have you never watched a movie from before the 90's? :)
I was hoping to learn why the pixelated designs started appearing. Author says they work; but what led anyone to think that those designs might work? Why did they try them in the first place? And actually, why do they work?

I find it bizarre that this is all done by private companies, competing in public competitions, with royalties to be paid for the chosen design. And I'm quite surprised that some designs were found wanting because they don't work under IR (e.g. the soldier shines against the background). That sounds like they're using the wrong dyes; surely a decent design methodology would lead to such problems being remedied by incremental improvement?
For me, this is running in a nutshell. Everyone is shocked because I don't listen to music or anything else when I run. It's my time for completely uninterrupted thinking about anything. It's lovely.
I would suggest reading some history books to round out stories like that.

It's probably like the typical matching engines that maintain player ratings based on win/loss record and pair you with people of similar rankings.

He presumably wanted to be able to stomp on everyone, not realizing that the game would quite correctly not pair people with him that he could stomp all over. It's based on a reasonable distribution of ability levels, he's enough of an outlier that there's nobody near him and thus no matches.

There were rampant rumors in my HS and college of people memorizing a list of answers to get Adderall to help them study better, and this was 10+ years ago.
This era had something called "layaway" -- put a percentage down and then you could make random incremental payments and take it home when it was fully paid for.

This was used much more frequently than children of the era might remember.
So yeah, I struggle with that too. Here's the difference with it as compared to all of history: scale.

We live in a different world as it is radically connected like never before. Taleb refers to our current age as "Extremeistan" and the previous world history as "Mediocrastan". It's about power lawn distributions and this happens overnight now across vast swaths of the population. [1]

How about "required to not mark as spam"?
I walk through drive-throughs regularly. I don't even get particularly odd looks like I'd initially expected. These include both fast food and bank/ATMs (or a teller at the other end).
At what point is it reasonable to start assuming basic security/computer literacy on the part of the public (to the point where, if you screw up, it is your fault for screwing up and not the computer/companies fault for not telling you something)?

This is an open question. We are not there yet, but at the same time I don't think it's tenable in the long term to be in the state of assuming the user can't be trusted to know what 2FA is.
