What I had read is that the odds of GETTING skin cancer were doubled in sunseekers but the odds of DYING of skin cancer were only one-sixth for sunseekers! Melanin appears to be very good at eliminationg toxic molecules, viruses, bacteria, and circulating cancer cells (I suspect this is happening in the interstitium.) Since mercury bonds very well to melanin, and can rip all those nasties apart easily, and we know small amounts of heavy metals (not just copper) improve health and longevity (believe it or don't) maybe this is why: mercury (etc) bound to melanin is used as a garbarator to chew up anything that shouldn't be flowing through the interstitium. (Which then dumps to the kidneys IIRC.)

My wife is a public school teacher, and based on what she tells me, I can believe what the article says, that forcing phones to be put away solves 90% of the problems.

All this "family emergency" crap is, as another commenter suggests, probably mainly about lacking spine when dealing with whiney kids.

There are legit reasons to contact a kid during school hours, and for that you need a dedicated phone (or two) used by assistant principals, with a phone number published to parents. That's how we did it in the 70s, with POTS.
With the way currency is managed in Turkey over the last few years, I imagine the incentive for such behaviour will increase, rather than decrease.
If I knew, I'd have already put it on my LinkedIn. I see "Automation Engineer" around a bit, but I don't think that's quite right. "Cloud Architect" is already taken by a specific kind of title inflation (and a few actually great software engineers who absolutely deserve it). My best guess is around "Orchestration" - "Orchestration Engineer", "Cloud Orchestrator", maybe even "Orchestration Technician" if the vogue becomes "Humility".

I’m case of a clean close (FIN) no truncation should be expected. I’m case of a HTTP/2 Reset or a tcp connection breakdown the stream must be treated as potentially truncated.

JSON5 isn’t a crazy language. Just used some productions from ECMAScript spec that is already part of JS. Anyone familiar with JS should pick up JSON5 quite easily.

I believe VSCode uses json5 with .json extension for a whole bunch of their configs.

It would be a slower parser than JSON though.
Staying in Italy for a while I got Italian ads (and I don't speak Italian), and was also often redirected to Italian pages when I explicitly wanted the English version.

I never called it nonsense.

I called it Perl line noise, which is more an indication of it being obtuse to understand for anyone not in the know, or even in the know, because of it being such a short implementation with zero context for outsiders.

To be fair, it's also peacocking. you're not helping anyone understand monads, you're just waving pretty feathers saying "look at me, I know these things and am therefore excellent" without bothering to try and educate those of us that dont understand.

It'd be surprising if it were poorly received regardless, because the book itself is little more than a review of the relevant literature on the topic, packed with references, and some added philosophy about it's implications sprinkled on top. Not that much different from one of Michael Gazzaniga's popular books, and certainly not as out there as Julian Jaynes.

I am having difficulty parsing your comment. You are equating Tao Te Ching and astrology in the same bucket ? One is a philosophy, a way of looking at life - the other I don't know what to call it. And if you say that both are ways of looking at the world then we can apply that yardstick to everything and it doesn't get us anywhere.

The key problem with Jaynes' hypothesis is that it depends on there being a sharp distinction between the behaviour of the Bronze Age individuals described in the Iliad (for example) and modern people today.

But there is no sharp distinction, and I'd argue there's no distinction at all. There's a difference in the linguistic tools used by the authors, but the characters are perfectly relatable to modern humans.

Not to forget, Yamamoto predicted a six months time window for Japan after Pearl Habour. After these six months, he knew Japan has lost. And the Japanese carried on for qyite a bot longer than that.

But yeah, the US Navy played the cards they had incredibly well. They got somewhat lucky with the promotion of Nimitz. The proboem so is, as it is with the Soviets in WW2 and every single WW2 general who managed to write a well selling book about hinself, to see past the individual hero stories at the bigger picture.

Personnaly, I think the biggest plunder of the Japanese was to not take out the harbour infrastructure at Pearl Habour. Not that it wouod have changed anything in the long run so. That, and that they failed abysmally at submarine and anti-submarine warfare.
I think people need to sit down a bit. Why do _all_ places need to have affordable housing? It’s not as simple a question as you might think.

I am actually asking: why shouldn’t the San Francisco’s of the world spend $12 on a banana to ensure that their grocery baggers make $60k a year? This is how we actually fight the problem rather than having arbitrary amounts of low income housing courtesy of Title IX.

If you want to live in an expensive place, be prepared to spend some goddamn money. Or let’s hurry up and get to a post scarcity world. I don’t honestly care how it happens. Just pick and stick.

Server sent events are just a potential payload format for response bodies, which allows to encode a potentially infinite amount of distinct messages. Trailers are a different concept since they exist outside of bodies.

If the team had decided to only use http body streams for all payload, they could totally have done that without directly using SSE encoding.
A friend of mine invented a new way of teaching English vowel sounds. There's a card-game version of this method that adults, kids can play.

We tried the card game version with a room full of native "American" English speakers... but I first learned English in "Deep South" USA. Another player was Latina from Los Angeles...

It was very interesting: I discovered that I could hear vowels that they could not. They think they pronounce "o" in "orange" about the same as "o" in dog. While Southern USA would say "ahringe dawg", but we can also pronounce a more neutral "orange" but it's not the same as a West Coast standard accent.

I used to be really into these distinctions, trying to place people on the map from their choice of words and accent.

In my first job out of school, I was writing driver code in C. In one of my projects, I had a code block that wasn't working, but all it did was a switch on ints. On a hunch, I tried ifs, and it worked. Turns out I found a bug in the in-house GCC fork. I'm sure my manager thought I was an idiot--I was a new grad saying my project isn't working, and I think it's a compiler bug.

I understand that switch-cases may not be optimized well in JS, but what surprises me is that all the instructions in the cases are now grouped into functions and this is faster than regular switch case.

When I write Javascript, I expect function calls to be slow. So I see three possibilities:

- (unoptimized) switch statement is very slow in JS, so slow that function calls will be faster

- function calls are not that slow in the end.

- both

It's a shame that the switch statement cannot relied on to be fast though. They are very readable, and indeed, feel like code that can be highly optimized. I guess that would risk making the JIT compilation too slow, or that not enough code found on the web rely on switch statements for this to matter too much.

Is this still true today? (I've seen a comment that says the 128 limit is still in V8's code)

How is this handled in SpiderMonkey, JavascriptCore or other JS engines?

You are right that this is done frequently but that does not make it right. When Bernie lost the democratic nomination against biden for example, there were a lot of angry (and some downright racist) democrats against black people in NC who voted for biden for example.

Race being a social construct and all, expecting people to align their political views on racial dividers is enforcement of the very divisions that enable and sustain systemic racism. I can say the same thing about product marketing as well.

Should black people vote against republicans because republicans are racist? No! That is liberal racism at its best. However you can say democrats have policies and track record that demonstrates they will make changes that benefits people in specific areas who could be black,white,latino,etc... and educated voters should vote for the party that benefits them not against the party that hates them. Even though there are two parties, it is that way because of such politics.

A person being expected to vote a certain way because of birth-time biological factors is unjust and unfair at the most basic level regardless of the choices at hand.

To anyone considering voting for one party because they hate the other, please, I beg of you, if you love your country don't vote.
>Assume the 297 million people all make $100k. That's $29.7 million. Now have the 33 million make an even $1 million. That's $33 million. That's 10% of the population making over 50% of the income. Altogether, that's $30.7 million income across 330 million people. Or about $190k per year.

> I used to be against takehome evaluations (I thought companies showed the most respect to candidates by being present during the evaluation), but we've recently had a few candidates say they prefer it as they think it gives them a better chance to show their skills.

Re:

I knew when making this post that the HN crowd is pretty opposed to takehomes. Again, I was too. But I've been meeting more good engineers (candidates) who actively prefer the takehome format. And I'm very sympathetic to it: your daily work won't be a "quiz" with someone over your shoulder or even a bunch of whiteboarding. It will be asynchronously coding.
If half of a country were impoverished and half were billionaires, I'd say they have a pretty serious income inequality issue. A median would randomly conclude that either the typical person is a billionaire or in poverty. Best case scenario, the median would equal the mean and give a result that reflects reality, but it still doesn't convey the issue at all.

Median and mean both compress n data points into one, which is only useful given some assumptions about the distribution. Quintiles (or similar) would work for that scenario, but I'm sure there are more complicated situations where they fall short.
You're being downvoted because you're wrong about textbook definitions and then calling other commenters uneducated and spreading false information. GDP and GDI (aggregate domestic production and aggregate domestic income) measure the same thing both conceptually and in an accounting sense. Discrepancies are caused by measurement errors, because they're different concepts. This is literally textbook macro-economics (e.g. Mankiw Ch 3, or a wikipedia summary [1], or the Bank of Englands layman explanation [2], or NBER [3]).

If people in the US buy things made in China, it is accounted for in both the GDP and the GDI in China by exactly the same amount (and likewise for US GDP and GDI if people in China buy things in the US).

Does your salary normally go up in busy (non-overtime) periods during the day?

Or do you, maybe, get paid a general smoothened out curve based on the average for your work expectations over a certain period of time?

You get bonuses, raises, promotions based on how well you perform your job as your salary gets adjusted (ideally at least) according to that (+ end of year bonuses, stock/options, etc). This all also contributes to your total compensation including oncall (which is based on your normal work rates).

Usually how it worked in my team at least, if someone had a tougher-than-usual shift (lots of alerts, large scale incidents, etc) we'd get some extra "rest time" (unofficially) or we'd be told to just take some time off in lieu, etc (on top of your oncall pay already) at discretion of your manager. On the other hand if your team's oncall stats (pager alerts, SLOs metrics, etc) were bad over a long period of time with a lowering trend, you'd have to restructure the way you approach/monitor your system and deal with releases and change management practices because something clearly isn't working. This is all encoded in the principles[0] of what it means to be a good SRE and design good systems and is already taken in consideration as part of your stipend.

No I mean economically speaking, of you are being paid your full time (or time and a half rate) the company is rationally going to expect you to actually work during that time. If the company is paying the (overtime) cost of full time work, why would they expect less?

Like unless you believe that there is truly no difference in the imposition of "normal" work and oncall situations, and you believe that no one else who is rational can see a difference, it follows that oncall will be compensated less, because it is a lesser imposition to the people who choose to do it.

If you believe there are other rational alternatives, present them. Don't deal in innuendo and then claim I'm acting in bad faith. Nor am I being defensive, lol. I absolutely, in good faith, do not believe you fully understand the effects of what you and others in this thread are suggesting. And given that you weren't able to present any alternatives, I still really don't think you do.

And the whole take is stupidly privileged, to boot. "I'm only going to get so many risottos in my life". Getting paid $65 an hour to not cook risotto is not an imposition to most people, or even most software engineers.
