Things like the big bang seem to be things after the beginning of the universe. In the same way, the issue with a god is "who created god, and who created that who created god...". If he's eternal, who/what made him eternal? We have the same problem in science, and I think any explanation/theory would have the same problem. Also, I dislike that when some physicists explain this they say, "sure, you can get something from nothing" and then change the definition of 'nothing' for their explanation to work. I feel like it's a disservice to not just admit mayyybe we don't know some things. Disclaimer: not a physicist and maybe missing something.
Great point.

In the OP's shoes, I'd write a few different resumes tuned for different jobs. E.g., one is a developer resume, which strongly foregrounds all the development work and minimizes the IT stuff. Another would be an IT director resume, where it's mainly about the ability to take business needs and get things done.

The reality of hiring is that people rarely want generalists. Mostly they have a particular hole they're looking to fill and they want it filled about 6 weeks ago. The function of a resume is not to give one's life story; it's to explain to the hiring manager why you are the right shape to fill their particular hole.

I would also have some questions about the cover letter. If the OP wants to make a jump from the do-everything guy to a more specific role, the cover letter is a good chance to explain why. E.g., "I have enjoyed the challenges of handling a wide variety of technical needs, the most satisfying work for me has always been writing and maintaining the software, so I am seeking a position where I can learn and grow as a developer as part of a highly productive team."
Why you need 4 bytes of length when you have 4Kb of RAM? 1 byte should be enough for you.
OpenCore is great, I used it to make Hackintoshes before I bought a MacBook. The Apple Silicon benefits were too great. I wonder how Hackintoshes will be once Apple fully transitions to ARM.
For anyone stumbling across this: Whether you’re “overemployed” or not, it is a great idea to freeze The Work Number for your own privacy.

I'm from Brazil, here we have more than 3000 national companies, handling everything from oil, mining and energy to banks and in the past even telecommunications. It was a disaster, you had to wait for about one year to have a land line installed and it costed almost as much as a car, you had to declare it in your taxes!

Social media should be a protocol, in that way it will become naturally decentralized and way harder to censor or control, like email.
Hire a consultant to look at your CV. I used levels.fyi had a great experience.

If you’re not getting recruiters it’s because you’re not matching keywords. If you can get in front of hiring managers, past the ATS and recruiter screen that is, your resume is good. Otherwise it’s bad.

Your employer can replace you for some annoying short term costs.

If you’re in a small business you might be working for what I call “mom and pop tech company”. These are painful to work with because getting cash for anything is like pulling teeth since they think of the business cash as their personal bank.

Get the CV cleaned up, discuss a transition with your employer, and offer to stay on to support the consultant for a market rate fee. This will save them money. But it’s time to move on.
https://app.electricitymaps.com/ lets you look at historical sources. In the winter last year 40% of British electricity was generated from gas.

To a house that is not heated by direct electricity (nor by gas), or to one where you have installed some other source of heating such as heat pumps or district heating.
This is likely an unpopular opinion, but Venture Capital needs to disappear and be replaced with a far better model.

While VC served its purpose well back in the heydays of FAANG and modern groundbreaking companies, in today's area it has become nothing more than a legal ponzi scheme designed to have series D and IPO stock purchasers holding the bag after artificially growing companies to unsustainable rates. Companies that grow slower and have a chance to become more sustainable will benefit even the most capitalist of societies, instead of hundreds of billions dumped into ongoing pump and dump cycles, which (as the article) inevitably leads to a crash.
I wouldn’t read much into it. I’ve had many people send me “screenshots” taken with their phone. The phone camera has become the goto tool for anything visual for many people.
I think using Chrome or Edge for PWAs and Firefox for general browsing is an acceptable compromise. I don't need to use the same program for video editing and reading news articles etc, although it would be nice if I could.
The backpackers are, the patent holders and grizzled founders are sometimes not. It was super fun walking the streets in NL wearing a maga hat back in early 2016! I don’t recall a single negative reaction. By day, lots of interested conversation. By night, “grab ‘em by the pussy, American! Woohoo!”
> We're likely inside an inescapable but observable simulation, inside a simulation, repeat for any unknown number of times. That's probably how "the universe" (our universe) began.

That's just deferring the question. If we're a simulation inside a larger universe, then how did that universe begin? Although I'd argue if we're in a simulation then we're still a part of the host universe, even if kept in isolation, and it's that host universe we should ultimately care about when asking the big questions.
I searched for notjustbikes and I don't get r/notjustbikes which is a SFW subreddit.
Agreed your CV probably needs work. But talk to a recruiter in the industry to help you improve your resume, they know far more and have more accurate knowledge than another engineer. Also, not sure how many positions you've applied to but apply to as many as you can, 100 would not a bad number of positions to apply to. It can be a numbers game.

To answer the question in the title - No, you shouldn't. For the same reason if you google "employer counteroffer" every piece of advice will advise you not to take the counteroffer. You've already signaled your intentions and they will no longer see you as aligned, crippling future growth at the organization, and they will oust you once they can.
You could say the same thing about every other economist at the time or even much more recent ones. Things change and evolve.
Its shocking to me how poorly people are compensated in the UK. There's no way a competitive market could exist there. Move to America if you dare... you can actually make something of your life.
I volunteer for rural development organizations providing the kinds of services that suburbs would call dept of water or forestry. This point is very important to reliably onboard volunteers.

If we need excavation, our worst-case scenario is that that we need excavation by someone who also knows
Yes, 20kloc and a 42U rack isn't that much for seven years.

Heck, I've literally built out three 42U racks and written thousands of lines of code for my dad just for fun over some weekends to help him with his business over the past five years.
It's not cherry picking. We have millenia's worth of evidence that people without immunity to Smallpox die at a very high rate if infected. The indigenous population of the Americas had no immunity when exposed to small pox. So they died at a very high rate.
Ah, so it's basically the "sync an encrypted database file" model that 1password used to use until their recent migration to their own cloud service?

I used to use that as well, but I've since come around to the idea of having a sync server that is a bit more than just a file relay. It complicates the security model a bit, but it allows using browser extension only clients (without needing to give them access to my file syncing account), rate limiting, 2FA, a higher chance of being able to rotate the passphrase without leaving copies of the old database hanging around everywhere, password sharing and much more.

In my view, it's worth the tradeoff.
I read Guns, Germs, and Steel a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure it focuses quite heavily on disease wiping 90+% of the native population and how decisive that was. I remember this because I was shocked when reading it that the percentage might be that high. One clue that the book is concerned with disease is the second word in the title.
I can't read the fine article. I've read from economists that the key essay to answer this is "What is Seen and What is Not Seen" by Frederic Bastiat (1840). That introduces the parable of the broken window. Its arguments are reprised in Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt (1946). Are either mentioned in the article?

You can't steelman classical economics without groking these.
A) Sit your employer down and say "I am applying for Jobs in the 80-100K range because <list of reasons>. When I get an offer I will take it, you are welcome to make me an offer to stick around now"

B) Get on LinkedIn and scope out some recruiters, reach out to the ones you like the look of with a brief of the sort of role your looking for. Get on the phone with them and get their advice - they will get you interviews.

Don't stop B if A works. Ultimately you should leave your current employer - they are not going to "get it" overnight so it will happen again in some form.

With your skills I'd expect to see you earning at least 80-90K depending on location. Aim for more full stack or DevOps roles. Consider management or team lead tracks - you clearly have strong organisational skills.
consider going librewolf instead, if your concern is security. I personally use librewolf for most things and brave for the few things that don't work well on firefox in linux (i.e. playing video from my nvr, my realtor website's 3d floor plan walkout, etc). Floccus and bitwarden keep bookmarks and passwords synced between the two so I barely notice which one I am using.
I wonder how many consumers would be ready to have remote-relays next to their power meters. Let's say they buy wind energy. When there is no supply from wind or there is some problem they would not get power anymore. That would be workable model.
Another option, not sure if you've done it yet, but have an honest, face to face sit down with your employer. What you're experiencing is burn out; tell them so.
> She redefines science to require simplicity, when it simply doesn't require it.

God wills the Universe into Being. I have explained everything completely. What qualities of a selection function do you have that would choose a different explanation?

One that doesn't require something more complex than the Universe to explain the Universe?
It's diameter is ~112k miles, or roughly 2% of the distance to its star. It's hard to imagine the amount of chaos in that atmosphere. I would think all of the churn from the gravitational gradient would end up effectively tidally locking it?
I am not depressed at all and side with the parent comments perspective. Everything is pointless.

Context matters and you seem to have ignored all of it and misunderstood what I was saying. We can agree that everything is ultimately pointless - as I said myself in the comment you’re responding to, one day the sun will engulf the inner planets before becoming a red dwarf.

What I find unsettling though is the context in which “life is pointless” was brought up.

It was essentially, “don’t feel bad about not accomplishing anything because life is pointless and accomplishing anything will not fulfill you anyway.”

Do you agree with that sentiment? I don’t.
People often misinterpret this because they think Moore was only talking about technology. However the number of transistors is more interesting than the technology alone because it represents what people actually do with chips. e.g. GPUs added to CPUs, and later AI added to the M1. These additions may not have been much more dense technologically, but the needs and desires of users increase as well as the technology. The tech doesn't have to improve 2x to reach 2x, because peoples' needs for AI, games, etc. is also increasing. And that's more useful in anticipating and predicting markets than the mere tech process.

So if you still think you're right, kindly post your citations. Here are mine:

"Moore's law is a term used to refer to the observation made by Gordon Moore in 1965 that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years.

The surest way to get depressed is to worry about what everybody else is doing, and compare yourself to them.

My recommendation is to fill your mind——every waking moment——with ideas, plans, hopes that inspire you, that you want to chase whether anyone else ever sees or knows or appreciates. Things you’d chase on a desert island or the middle of Manhattan.

Then find people you can share them with, that can magnify what you love.

Occasionally you might find yourself tempted to make value judgements about what happens. Don’t do it. Things aren’t good or bad, wonderful or a waste. They just are. You can’t choose the thoughts that intrude, but you can choose how you respond to them. Practice choosing to respond by being in the moment, and making the moment be about pursuing something you love.

Most people I know are controlled by ideology. Imagined imperatives handed down from ancestors and influencers. Their loves take a back seat or remain undiscovered and they get old with regrets. What I propose is the opposite. Let the philosophies and values of the day burn. They can't offer you anything you can’t offer yourself. Make the things you love eclipse everything else around you. You only live once. This is your chance to be free.

Best of luck.
You didn't fully read the post you responded to. They were not suggesting a non-reversible medium.
Aw, why'd you fix it? That was gold.
This is not entirely true. Some power plants are just coincidentally under planned maintenance.
I want a password manager to be paid.
As the single point of failure for a huge firm, I had to quit. They hired me back in 6 months at the numbers I wanted. They didn't have to, but they also didn't really care. They gambled I wouldn't leave. They were wrong. You have to be willing to leave. 'Fuck it, fuck you, fuck this' are words to live by, in my opinion.

Edit: this will not always work. And you might burn bridges. Be warned.

Edit2: Also dont actually say fuck you, that's internal monologue. Stay professional!
Also significant capacity loss from plants unable to run in droughts, since they rely on cooling water that has now dried up.

Nukes reliant on Loire valley water are currently curtailing production.

Exactly.

And start studying how do to Infrastructure as Code or go get some certificate if needed: CKA, AWS, Azure or GCP related.
No, the point is to escape company! :)
> it is estimated that 90% of new world natives died of smallpox and viral herpes immediately following contact with europeans

Can you give an academic citation for this?

I can't find anything that would support these numbers, they're high even for older work that's since been debunked (and especially not "immediately"). I suspect that there's a methodological error, but I can't say for certain until I actually see how you've come to these numbers.
Ive tried to explain this issue to EVs fanatics, but nobody listens.

Anytime you mention energy transmision issues - you get total backlash.

We wasted EU money on pointless stuff while we could have upgraded our transit cables etc.
To code search or not to code search [video]
Find another job.

Are you doing anything beyond just sending out CVs? That's a pretty poor way to find a job, TBH. A CV is required for a job search, but best delivered after you've had a discussion with a hiring manager (at best) or someone at the company (at least) about the position.

In my experience, the best way is to find someone who used to work with you and see if they need help or know anyone who does. You have far more credibility and they'll have more info about you.

The second best way is to meet someone at a technical event, connect with them, and (after a sufficient period of time, don't do it on the first email) see if they know anyone looking.

The third best way is to target local companies who you'd want to work for, and who you know someone at (use LinkedIn or Xing). Meet them for coffee, learn about the company. If it is a fit, ask if it is okay for you to send a CV over.

All of these take some time to implement, which is why it is good that you are currently employed. (Always easier to find a job if you have a job.)

Start now.
I don’t understand the criticism. I worked with a lot of free Slack accounts. None of these had 90 days of history. Would say 20-30 days or something like that on average. To get 90 days history is an improvement for most larger consumers on free tiers. No?
A couple of things:

It sounds like you're asking two (or more) different questions. Your title implies maybe getting back at your employer. I think many of us have gone through similar feelings, but ultimately you should do what's best for yourself and not necessarily what'll make you feel good in the short term (checkmating / petty revenge). In my experience, typical advice is to not take a counteroffer from your current employer. Will you really be satisfied at work if they give you that raise? Will you go through the same issue in another several years?

As for the resume development and lack of responses - maybe try applying to worse-paying jobs, and see if you get hits. Take the recruiter calls and find out what it was about your resume that they liked. You could even go so far as to say you were hoping to get a better-titled position etc and see why they say you're not qualified. You can use all this to better edit your resume, or go develop the needed skills at your current work.

I've also been contacted by headhunters in the past, and with just a little bit of prodding, they're very happy to critique and edit your resume because it's in their best incentives to do so.
It is not obvious to me whether one could determine if the phrase "the adjacent possible of nothing" refers to something, as opposed to merely resembling phrases that do. Regardless, there is an evocative ring to it.
Remember that "transport" includes "to storage", which in turn includes some of the most efficient batteries in the form of connected reservoirs located at different heights so that gravity does the discharging work.
Like being a virgin population in which the new pathogens could spread like wildfire, being totally unknown to their immune systems?

We have just seen the same with covid, where the entire humanity was a virgin population. And covid mortality was basically nothing compared to smallpox and a host of other Old World diseases.

Notably, the only disease to spread the other way round, syphilis, was very severe too. It took several generations for syphilis to mutate to a more chronic form.

And, notably, even though famine and violence weren't exactly rare during the later colonial conquest of Africa, it usually wasn't the natives who died of diseases, but the whites, who just couldn't tolerate local diseases such as malaria, to which the indigenous population was somewhat resistant.

There is a reason why the only significant white population in Africa is located in territories with more European-like climate, where the disease situation wasn't as dire as, say, in Congo.
Depends what you mean by care about, because the majority of praised discoveries are an extra foot on the millipede. Precisely because we designed our universities and technologies that way.

You can nurture in systems and cultures that break open the fundamentals again if you so wish. Most people don't wish it, they are happy living out incremental improvement in the city and surrounds.
Well, I’ve got a garmin inreach that uses iridium and it’s been quite reliable. Inreach mini is cell phone sized… of course it’s super low bandwidth so I assume that’s what’s gonna happen with the new functionality as well. Anyway all speculation at this point.

She lives in a Catholic faith community in South Bend. There’s lots of kids of all ages and so always people around to babysit, etc. It’s like my dad described his village in Bangladesh. Nobody takes care of their kid all the time like in America. (The women have to go into the rice fields during the day too.) The kids get passed around.
I think that the evolution of physics has actually been a series of discoveries of new things that are impossible. We used to think that many things were possible if only we knew the right spell, or invoked the right god, or just worked hard enough.

Then as people studied nature more thoroughly and systematically, they started observing laws that simply can't be crossed - conservation of energy, conservation of momentum, the increase of entropy , the limited speed of causality, the uncertainty principle - to name some of the bigger ones. All of these have put limits on something we used to think of as unlimited.

There are many more non-existence proofs in math as well - so even in pure math, you can't escape this accumulation (probably the most famous such problem, one long attempted that ultimately proved impossible, is "squaring the circle", or in modern terms, the fact that pi^n is irrational for any rational n).
I believe this sentiment is what a large cross section of the physics community was thinking prior to Einstein’s breakthroughs.
