Yeah generally even a coasting employee is doing some minimum amount of work. If burnout is a concern it's actually better to hire someone with the intention of PIPing and kicking out the coaster after. Since the coaster has been there as long as they have, a bit of extra time won't really change the situation.

[Note: This is WILDLY different if the coaster is actively generating more work for peers. I'm talking producing mediocre code that needs extra code review or not completing assigned tickets forcing peers to pick up that slack to finish the sprint. Get the team's opinions on the situation in 1:1 and boot ASAP if folks find this is a source of friction for them.]

Sometimes the most interesting thing is not the story itself, but the story behind the story.

This has my interest peaked. Is there anywhere else I can read about this?

To be fair, the vast majority of people I've lived with or know-well-enough-to-know-this-about-them (we need a word for this concept in English) can't be arsed to clean their pans immediately. Especially those who rely on a dishwasher.

Cast iron isn't compatible with that approach.

You have to be the type of person who can appreciate and capitalize on the fact that cleaning off eggs immediately after cooking takes 1 second while chiseling them off tomorrow can take 5 minutes.
You might lack the emotions, but you've absolutely nailed the mentality. Bravo.
Just laughing to myself at this. A friend and I started copying long movies from the NAS to the media PC's local storage, since if I use my preferred smplayer (mpv) sometimes some hiccup will cause it to crash, but his preferred vlc will limp along and happily put out corrupted playback. Neither is a good experience. (Anyway the problem is likely the media PC itself since the issue doesn't happen on either of our personal PCs streaming from the NAS, using whichever player.)

If people are quitting then people are quitting. Whether or not that is a bad idea doesn't seem to matter right now. Maybe it will matter in the future but that's not today.

Employee: I quit.

Employer: That's a bad idea!

Employee: Thanks for the advice. Bye.
I'm talking about firing the people who are basically doing nothing. They're likely a drain on everyone else already. You get rid of the dead weight, I personally feel morale will improve. Do you like knowing people are making the same salary as you, basically doing nothing? I know of cases where people were doing like 2 hours of work... a week.
> (Deutchgeist?)

Correct spelling would be "Deutschgeist", but it's not a word that evokes much sense. I think a good translation would be "im Geiste der deutschen Sprache", which more literally translates to "in the spirit of the German language". Yeah, sadly we can't use combined nouns for everything...
I wouldn't advise making potentially catastrophic decisions based on a feeling.
Thanks. I don't get the get connection between the title and the content of the article. It says in the article that nuclear reactors are outputting half of what they should because of the extreme weather. But in the winter, how is that going to be a problem? We don't have heatwaves in the winter... yet.
A FUSE FileSystem for JIRA - I'd love that!

I believe you've misunderstood the parent comment.

Also - generally speaking, I think being able to speak (or write) in a manner that's compelling for audiences across broad backgrounds, rather than just their niche community is a skillset to be admired.

Science does nothing if people do not believe in it, or do not engage with it.

I definitely agree that this does not give academics license to veer entirely outside of their expertise and use their credentials in the field to hide this (eg: Diamond). But I think not trying at all is worse. Far worse.
I decked out a home workstation 64GB ECC for $400 last year (paired with an AMD 5000 series CPU and Asus Pro WS X570-ACE motherboard which are both compatible). The motherboard specifically stated ECC compatibility.
And just like Ulbricht set a great example for future darknet market operators to take OPSEC far, far more seriously, so too will this overreach of authorities drive authors and operators of tumbler/mixer software/services to do the same.

The authorities are stepping on their own dicks, here, in a manner of speaking. Most of the biggest darknet markets operate far better, and far more clandestinely, precisely because Judge Forrest threw the book at Ross.

And they're doing the same thing here. This really sucks for Pertsev, but going hard on him like this will set the standard for a brighter future in the fight against State-enforced financial tyranny.
From my experience, it only works if the entire company is completely bought in to the entire system. Even going so far as the SAFe framework. Companies think they can pick/choose which pieces they implement and this is a recipe for failure.

Interesting development, but quite a few of these concerns are normally dealt with during wind park development and siting, taking care of the 'wake effect' in the prevailing wind with all machines operating is pretty much standard. The upside of this - if I understand it correctly - is that it will try to find another optimum when the wind is not from the 'ideal' direction that the park was originally designed for. So it will depend very much on how variable the winds are in a particular locality whether this will give an advantage.

I'm curious how it will play out in practice when they start using it on large offshore installations for instance.
It’s more like you gave away a DIY laundromat kit for free, which some people used to make laundromats, and other people used to launder money.

Example of a “legitimate” use case for tumbling: your employer pays you in Bitcoin and you don’t want them to know where you spend the money they give you.

A public ledger means anyone can read it, not just the government. And so anonymizing your transactions means hiding them from everyone, not just the government.

It’s fine if you believe the government and your bank should be able to read your transactions. But what about your crazy ex girlfriend or the guy you fired last week?

> I express the exact same thoughts and ideas I have in English, even if I express them without syntactical tenses, plurals, or whatever. Feels the same.

It feels the same now. But you're not (and can't) compare what it was like to think that way before learning mandarin and after. Even your memories are modified by your present linguistic understanding.

Language doesn't strongly determine how you think and feel. It's more complex than that. But many studies have shown the benefits of bilingualism, and the limited-in-scope effects that language can have on your thinking. Linguistic relativism is a real thing.

Cells are, of course, replaced all the time [0]. For example, certain white blood cells every 2-5 days. In general metabolic processes slow down when fasting.

Immune cell replacement doesn't reset your immune system; that would be a very bad thing, no? You'd suddenly lose all resistance to everything you'd been exposed to or vaccinated against.

A quick internet search shows a PR piece from USC, "Fasting triggers stem cell regeneration" [1]. I'm not impressed. The article says "it is the first evidence of a natural intervention triggering stem cell-based regeneration of an organ or system," implying no previous study has ever shown such an effect, and it certainly isn't generally accepted as a biomedical effect. I don't know if the study results have been replicated.

What the study's actual data said was "long periods of not eating significantly lowered white blood cell counts," which in mice was followed by a rebound when fasting ending. The researcher's interpretation was that he "likens the effect to lightening a plane of excess cargo." [Yeah! Let's temporarily get rid all those pesky unneeded white blood cells!] So my interpretation is that the white blood cells died off after a few days, as normal, and fasting interfered with their replacement. Fasting stopped, and replacement recommenced.

I don't really get the popularity of quackish theories about fasting, "cleanses," etc. There's already a perfectly good regeneration system--it's called sleep. I guess it's like weird ideas about "oxygen-free copper" and such in audio circles. It's something to tweak, feeling like you're going above-and-beyond, but without actually being too difficult.

It’s not a narrative. It’s two sides escalating their calls and responses. Cato sought to punish Cæsar; in the end, he burned his republic.

I feel like the information about these chemicals is so confusing, it's hard for a non-chemist like me to understand.

This is conflating 2 different situations:

(1) Competent programmer who isn't a good fit for a particular job.

(2) Incompetent programmer, the "can't code, can't even write a for loop" bogeyman that seems to scare everyone.

Coding interviews — whiteboarding, take-home projects, and the like — are intended to filter out (2). But they aren't good at filtering out (1).

(1) can always occur. There's not a great way of avoiding that until they actually get on the job. Of course it's unpleasant to fire somehow who doesn't work out, but I don't see how take-home assignments are supposed to help here with (1). Whereas the (2) people shouldn't be in the industry at all, and they're lucky to somehow scam someone into giving them a job, but the industry should not be financially supporting scammers or their families.

I'm personally not convinced that (2) is as big a group as many people believe it is.

Ask HN: Always Apart, Never a Part?
Don't think I've ever disagreed more passionately with an HN comment. Being "bought in" to agile development means individuals over processes, teams pick and choose what works for them. Insisting that everyone everywhere goes all the way on the same predefined process is as far away as it gets.
That's not necessarily true. Hacking the ground station means in all likelihood getting access to low level protocols between the ground station and satellite, which potentially means getting the ability to affect the satellites. Not a sure thing, but if I wanted to attack a StarLink satellite, this would be a solid first step in doing so.

I think this sort of question is being argued with youtube-dl and we can see where it goes. The entertainment industry argues the purpose of youtube-dl is to pirate content. Youtube-dl argues that there are in fact many legitimate uses for it and this argument has so far prevailed.

In the case of WhatsApp, the app has many legitimate uses, notably speech, which is often protected as a right. In the case of Tornado Cash, the app's only use is concealing the origin of financial transactions, which some could argue is never a legitimate use (and which others would argue is a legitimate use). Maybe the final arguments will come down to this legitimacy.

Google Play Books is a behemoth of rare, obscure, archaic and poorly formatted free stuff. I have a massive collection of books on New France, Canadian history, very old folklore and poems, screenplays, pretty much every classic in the public domain.

Do you use an eReader? I just got one of the newest Kindle models and I'm having a really hard time getting things to convert or whatever - even stuff that is, like, already formatted for eReader purposes gets mangled. Should I have not bought the Kindle in the first place? Haha

As the Vox article you link notes:

According to one estimate, the president’s agrochemical ban was poised to save Sri Lanka the $400 million it was spending yearly on synthetic fertilizer, money it could use toward increasing imports of other goods. But Rajapaksa also argued that chemical fertilizers and pesticides were leading to “adverse health and environmental impacts” and that such industrial farming methods went against the country’s heritage of “sustainable food systems.”

And:

“Sri Lanka started subsidizing fertilizers in the 1960s and we saw that rice yields tripled,” says Saloni Shah, a food and agriculture analyst at the Breakthrough Institute, a US-based environmental nonprofit that advocates for technological solutions.

https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2022/7/15/23218969/sri-la...

The goal was cost savings. It proved misled.

But again, the snowballing economic and fiscal crisis prompted the ban, rather than the other way around.

They didn't need to put a gun to my head or make any sort of threats to empty my bank account. I suspect they'd need to do that with my bitcoin wallet.

I'm curious if the authors of the paper are taking advantage of the well-known current problems with our standard cosmology. I'm also curious if the other commenters are even aware of this as an issue independent of whether the article was published.

The analogy to a failed pull request is typically developer-centric and grossly off the mark. Reiterating the function of an editor ignores the context of this particular article, which I've taken the time to reiterate myself.

It's permanently available if you're willing to fly the black flag. I know a few people who hoard huge amounts of BD-rip movies on their multi-TB NAS at home. That way it's permanently available.

DRM is a scam on the law abiding consumer and the "Blu-ray Disc Association" is a cartel.

Honest question: do people still use PCs to watch BD movies? Have they ever? AFAIK the rare few people who still have a BD movie collections, use dedicated players or their consoles for that. Using a PC for that always seemed like masochism from a UX perspective so it was never popular.

To play the devil's advocate, I think it was too expensive for Intel to invest in patching the SGX IP block vulnerabilities, porting it to smaller nodes, and wasting valuable silicone die, just so the last 5 remaining people on the planet who still use a PC to watch BD movies can now do it from a brand new PC instead of using their existing ones.

So, ultimately this problem backtracks to the use of DRM and why that's bad, not on Intel who can't financially justify supporting such old & niche DRM IP moving forward.
They could just let you exit normally and not pay any fare if you entered the station less than 8 minutes ago, or whatever would be an amount of time that you couldn't realistically ride somewhere, enjoy another station, and then ride back.

Though I guess people would just tap in, tap out immediately but don't exit the turnstiles, then just get on a train and exit through the emergency exit at whatever station you want for free.
In ye olden days, my company had a courier who would shuttle interoffice mail between the Walnut Creek and downtown SF offices on BART all day. So I could see this happening.

CS Content Inclusivity Guide
The Taiwanese dub of "We don't talk about Bruno" uses Oh不 (actually, more like Woh不) as a lyric sung by the backup chorus. (In English, the chorus is singing "no, no", which is a callback to the heavily focused lyric "we don't talk about Bruno-no-no-no". This is not true in the dub, where that lyric is translated as if the "no"s were pure repetition: the dub says "women bu ti bulunuo-nuo-nuo-nuo".)

Lip syncing can't be a concern, because the chorus is not visible. The background characters on screen are not singing.
Not to create further panic but you should know that the bright coloured paints in the enamel of those ceramic/cast iron pans will often contain lead and/or cadmium, which are both carginogenics. The whole thing is obviously sealed but who knows what happens when they chip.

As far as I see it with my paranoia hat on, there are only three safe options:

1. Cast iron unseasoned (and you do the seasoning)

2. Stainless steel (w/ no coatings)

3. Borosilicate glass (with no painting or markings)
People "don't do that sort of thing" because of class, because of nationality, because of religion, because of age, because of gender, because of marital status, and I've probably missed a few. You can't point to any specific "we don't do that sort of thing" and say definitively that it's class.
