> A lot of times on-call gets stuck on these folks because they're often treated as second class citizens in the softwarescape.

Sadly spot on. For anyone that’s not been the ops side of the fence, you are expected to do major works out of hours as it’ll impact developer productivity. You can also lose your public holidays, weekends and evenings to issues while others get to switch their phone off and forget about work until they return.

It does a real number on you. Glad to be fully on the dev side of the spectrum now but some of the attitudes of interviewers I had to endure to get there… And that was with a CS degree and a truckload of IaC/glue-ware experience!
Immunology in general is a weird field - we simultaneously know a metric ton but also not much. It’s like kind of we know why we don’t know. I remember in one of the final viva exams of a fairly decent immunology grad student one of the committee members started asking, “what does IL-1 do? IL-2?…” until the student broke (this particular one did not, she had an answer for every major IL in the lower single digits). But how many interlukins can you even remember? There’s no rhyme or Rythm there, no med student mnemonics to get you through memorizing their function.

Our system is complicated by how many components play interconnected roles all the time it’s just impossible to form a mental model of it.
If you want to understand more about the connection between the Democratic party and Black voters, you might start with "Steadfast Democrats" by Ismail White and Chryl Laird, which goes into the history and talks a bit about how both cultural changes and changing political dynamics might change that relationship (for instance: the Black church is a huge component of Black voting).

There's nothing racist about studying and understanding these things. There's definitely something racist about saying Black people "can't" vote Republican, or should for some reason vote for Sanders (Black Democrats are to the right of white Democrats).

I am curious (really, not sarcastic) why you want to play around with PC's from that period.

I am facinated by vintage computers. Computers from before that era feel exotic and unique but not so much for PC's.

To me a more modern OC does everything of an old one but more slowly. Not much to discover. Am I wrong or missing something?
That would hand over most of the money to the people responsible for the pollution.

Giving to everyone equally would invest a very large number of voters in continuing and expanding the program.

Devoting 10% to carbon emissions reduction tech would fund a never-before-seen flowering of development.

Eliminating subsidies for carbon miners would be helpful.
A better C

C is a fantastic language. C compiles insanely fast, is the fastest language there is, is very clear, is native to all systems, and is useful for all purposes.
Some people, e.g., Bjarne Stroustrup, consider that C is `not good enough`, and make languages like C++ or D (or thousands of others)

This is not necessary.

There is no reason to use Python instead of C for `simple scripting tasks`

Some functions can be used as methods

Makes for an excellent `scripting language` (which is really just native C without things making it slow)

1 String Interpolation "String interplation like this #{foo} " Calls the join() function (talked about below to join strings, delim is a static global in each module called `sep`. Make sure you free() the string after. The string is stored in a static global variable called `last`.
So you could do puts(...); free(last);

2 ew i.ew "Foo", a.ew "bar" | char ends with another char?

3 sw i.sw "Foo", a.sw "bar" | char* starts with another char*?

4 == Comparison of strs, "foo" == "bar"

5 strip Returns pointer to string that was stripped, in place

6 chomp void function, chomps end of string of spaces, i.chomp or chomp(i), in place

7 gsub Just like ruby, there is a gsub function.
The preprocessor detects if you use and adds -lpcre2-8 to the link flags if you use it. Use $" for substitutions in argument 3 gsub(a, b, c)

8 join Joins an array of strings, to split(), use C's strtok (very fast)

9 Lightweight regexes are added, almost 15 times as fast as C's built in regex. They are very simple, they only have bracket expressions, like [a-z].
To use it, you need to pass a buffer of the size of the expansion of the regex. Foo[a-fA-F] would be Foo[abcdefABCDEF]. That would be stored in a buffer.
From testing, 15x times faster than C's regex POST COMPILATION, if compilation keeps happening, it might be hundreds of times faster.
Uses static inline functions, NO HEAP MEMORY unless you malloc before().

10 print Like old python print "Hello"(fputs);

11 print_int prints a number and returns the
number, can be chained

12 each_line, Perlish, different names, by_line(s) or each_line(s), iterate over all lines, free after

13 NOTE You can use open_memstream() on UNIX to easily concatenate strings.
asprintf() is another useful function which is UNIX-centric. open_memstream() could be an alternative to std::string.
It works very well with each_line or by_lines (see above)

These features seem simple, but they can make C programming much, MUCH easier

For example (insignificant example)

int main() {

stdin.each_line { |line|
print line;
}

free(line);

}

You can iterate over the standard input like Ruby

The thing with this is that it has 100% speed. The resultant preprocessed program becomes a normal C program

The compile and run time for a program (if you use tcc and not gcc) can be about 24 milliseconds, which is faster than Ruby to run.

Not confident on diabetes. The biophysical dynamics of insulin are super different in mice - they have two, one of which is missing a highly conserved amino acid across all vertebrates that is at the hinge of the critical structural element of insulin.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fendo.2021.6492...
Literally no one talks about this in mice metabolic research. I would not be surprised if a huge majority of mouse researchers in diabetes are unaware.
Iy was, a common joke was that if you wanted a Starfighter all you had to do was to buy an acre of land and wait for a while...

Truth be told, the Starfighter was an interceptor, designed to carry air-to-air missiles fast towards approaching Soviet strategic bombers. That's it, nothing else. The German Airforce wanted a multi-role fighter, some creative Lockheed marketing assured the the Starfighter was bought in the F-104G variant. At that G-variant turned it into a brick to fly, stall speeds close to minimum take off speeds among other things.

The starfighter's safety record with other operators was a lot better.

Indeed. I did cut through one extension cord with my hedge trimmer already,
I think the GCC switch only changes the threshold when registers aren't used. The address of the temporary struct that the called function writes to is always passed as a hidden argument. The compiler will allocate the memory on the stack, so there's no impact on thread safety.

It's not like Puerto Rico, where there is an agreement in place. Taiwan is the result of an (mostly unresolved) Civil War.

There is not free travel between the two, they both have independent militaries, they both have foreign representatives. In fact it is harder for PRC Chinese to visit Taiwan than most other countries (they require even a special passport/visa for PRC to go to Taiwan).

Whatever your view on whether Taiwan SHOULD be part of China, it is by EVERY objective measure, NOT part of china. The main mark against that, is it is not officially recognised by the UN.
Of course, wfa has its perks. But with the rise in living costs, a promotion doesn't seem bad itself. Having said that I am saving more money in my existing job because I can relocate to a cheaper accomodation. So my vote goes to work from anywhere.
> People in the US are free to talk all they want about fantastical topics.

It's one thing to talk between US people on various topics. Another is for head of foreign state to covertly enter your country and espouse a topic that's controversial and could cause problems for you down the line.

> And to give a more historical example

To give a more recent historical example. Election of Donald Trump. And the role Russia played. Steele dossier non-whistanding.

From what I gather, merely buying up trolls and doing some marketing was enough for US to have hissy fit, over it.
I'm curious how flexible one is if proto3 is given as it is from a schema perspective, where a true schema/constrains language like CUE could be a vehicle to define schemas and then transform that to anything needed, like protobufs or even stubs serializing on the wire.
There are lots of conditions of the possibility of life - biological, physical, chemical - but the real point is that there is no incontestable reason to think that the conditions of the possibility of life are the pre-eminent source of moral value. Kant argued from the conditions of the possibility of understanding to moral conclusions. Sarte reasons from the conditions of the possibility of existential personality to morality. Rawls reasons from the conditions of the possibility of morality to morality. My point is, lots of people make this move, in a much more sophisticated way than you, and none is obviously better than the other - or indeed any other form of moral argument. There is no self-grounding foundation from which to reason about morality. What incontrovertible reason can you give for starting from the conditions of the possibility of life, or indeed one particular condition, rather than any other place? You can't.
It would be massively helpful if there were good IDE (tooling) for editing nix files.

e.g. on par with the quality of Java editing in IntelliJ

This would help massively for folks learning how to do things.

Besides that, I just keep wondering — and tweag said it too — if some tool that did nix-shell and nixpkgs would be enough.

At the end of the day, a lot of folks are really just using nix like Python‘s virtualenv — i.e. declare what you need, change $PATH to include it in a sandboxed environment.
From part 4: "Since becoming my hobby rather than sole means of transport..."

I was listening to an interview with Ray Magliozzi, the author of Car Talk, and he was asked what it would take to do his show, but about bicycles. The answer was, you'd need to make the bikes more complex and prone to failure.
One thing I'm looking at is the number of BEVs sold each year versus ICEVs. Sure, we're moving in a direction, but it's not fast enough to imagine the entire world will be using exclusively BEVs in 13 years - which is one of the requirements for 2.5 degrees. And I'm not even mentioning the fact that the trucking industry has no plans whatsoever to move to electrical any time soon, while the shipping and airplane industry have no such plans period.

Not to mention, we've recently seen things like Germany's Green government approving the construction of new coal-based power plants when they couldn't get enough gas from Russia, which really tells you how likely we are to move to renewables very quickly.

Most of the money going into renewables has been in addition to existing fossil fuel plants, so at best covering growth in energy demands. But to stop global warming at 2.5 degrees, we need a sharp decline in fossil fuel consumption, and that just isn't happening, not globally and not in most places in the world locally either.

Back a while I tried estimating what it would take to make 'electric weed burner'. The answer was you could do it but it needed a 30 amp 240V outlet.

One complaint I have in the opposite direction is hybrid water heaters. In heat pump mode they draw 500 Watts. But they require 240V @ 30 amps for the resistive heaters. Would be nice if they would run in heat pump mode only if connected to 120V single phase.
Something like "Let go of all attachments". Sure, it's great advice, but being attached to some things is life, even though they can potentially have negative effects (such as attachment to a SO, family, job, body-part).

That is the point. Carbon-intensive industry prices would rise more than others, and people would shift spending to alternatives, where presented. People would have more to spend, and would re-allocate according to price signals.
Humans have limited working memory but problems don't care about that and can be much more complex than we can handle. In these situations using the neural net as a "microscope" to zoom into the data might bring some insights from that complexity region that is out of reach for us.

That depends of the country and its regulation. I get pay extra for my week as oncall, plus a bit for each page outside of working hours. As for the oncall responsabilities, we take it as time to catch up on debt or open tickets, no project work is assigned that week.
I now see the question you mentioned from study 5. IMO study 5 is not the interesting substudy. As you mention, you cherry-picked the extreme example.

> But, perhaps most importantly, the observed effect from this study was extremely small.

The substudies that looked at those set of 34 questions above had an extremely significant result-- both statistical significance and magnitude of effect. I also don't see anything too controversial in that set of 34 questions. Do you?
You should visit Northern Ireland during marching season - around July 12th - and then decide whether or not you think Orange matches could be described as “anti Irish”.

Unless you’re going to engage in a bit of sophistry - “the people who participate might be anti-Irish but the actual Orange Order as an organisation is simply expressing its fondness for the Act of Union” - I don’t see how you could not see the anti-Irish aspects of the Orange matches.
This.

Taxation of energy is a big revenue stream for the governments. What happens when people start putting independent energy sources to power themselves and it causes significant revenue drop ? Would the government tax them for putting up solar on their property ? Couple this with electrification of transportation and you have another taxation source (fossil fuels) losing revenue. This would lead to a disruption in the social power dynamics in a country.

Yes, energy companies can invest in these too, but why would I buy from them if I have my own generation ?

Can I say what I hope/wish were on the horizon?

1. Approval voting becoming widely adopted. This would go a long way toward mitigating the hyper polarization in politics in America (and likely elsewhere as well). Electing politicians with broader approval means legislation would likely move more quickly.

2. Moving to a Land Value Tax system in America. This would organically help us transition to a culture that builds up instead of sprawling out. This could lead to tremendous reductions in things like municipal infrastructure costs, transportation pollution, reduced mortgage/rent prices, etc.
GDP in itself is a faulty measure. One easy way to increase it to ask everyone to throw a brick through their neighbours window. The spend on window repair will increase the GDP, although there is no value add to the economy, other than the glass fitters of course.

> Maybe other companies do it differently, but that's how Google does it.

Most of us work at places that don a lot of things differently to Google I suspect.

There's a _huge_ difference between how on-call works in a dozen or so person startup, and hundred or two person single timezone business, and a thousands of engineers across almost all timezones.

I _dream_ of working at a place that has follow-the-sun teams of SDEs and SRDs across 3 or 4 timezones. I have not yet worked at a place large enough to have on call secondaries, I've only worked places where the only on call escalation is that the on call person's manager gets paged (and angry) if the on call person hasn't responded within the SLA. (And I've been both the on call person and the manager in that scenario in several different organisations...)
McGilchrist did publish a 30-page summary called “Ways of Attending”, which might be better. It seems to cost as much to buy as a full-size book, but perhaps some Googling can reveal a cheap copy somewhere.
That's not at all phenomenal when you consider the on call policy dictated by labor laws in other first world countries in Europe, for example. You don't even have to look at other countries when you can look at how on call is structured in other industries, especially those that are unionized, right here in the US.

Google isn't even giving employees overtime rates for the work they do on call. It doesn't sound voluntary, either, and where are the handsome on call bonuses?
Which is ironic considering what the discussion is about: you conducted your own scientific experiment on yourself, disproved the consensus-accepted rule, and came to new conclusions.

To achieve that, you needed to have enough confidence in yourself and your ability to measure and feel stuff (which some people think is bad, apparently) versus some consensus which purports to know better.

Courageous new science regularly blasts old knowledge and education to bits, and that's a good things.

The best choice is the one that you, personally, will complete and build a full game in. Presumably OP knew how to use gamemaker studio, and could either choose between:

1) Starting to build the game straight away in Game Maker Studio

and

2) Learning C# / Unity and then starting to build your own engine and plug together tile editors and things which will then let you build the game.

In the case above, Option 1 will probably have more success as you are starting to build the thing rather than defering building the thing.
