How are you measuring wait times? How are you defining Emergency Departments?

In England there's a 4 hour target for people to be seen, treated and then discharged (or for a decision to admit to be made). Currently the English NHS is meeting that target for 75% of all attendances. This has declined from a 95% rate a few years ago, and it's seen as a massive problem.

Just out of curiosity, where did tau come from? I never heard of it used for 2pi, and frankly, it seems like a poor choice because in engineering it is one of the most common symbols used (time constant tau).
I meant a standardized REST protocol. Why does it have (or ever had) to be something obscure like SMTP/POP3/IMAP if it could be just REST (still standardized, name it whatever)?
Sometimes?

The difference is about 10% which is easily noticeable.

Typically in a British pub you will be served beer in a glass that is calibrated as “pint to brim”, and any head on the beer is taken out of the nominal pint. So usually a pint as served is much closer to half a litre.

That was my reasoning too. Thanks!
On my work laptop, on which I dual boot Arch and Windows, I've just signed MS's keys with my own key and disabled booting from anything else than the internal drive.

I'm not sure what you mean by "legacy mode", but I'd expect that to mean "BIOS compatibility mode", and that's not really related (apart from presumably disabling secure boot). I actually prefer UEFI, this allows me to avoid wasting time with a classic bootloader.
> So the use of the radian can simplify a lot many pen and paper symbolic transformations, but it is rarely, if ever, beneficial in numeric algorithms.

If only computers could do a bit of symbolic algebraic manipulations before issuing the machine code.

Wait, isn't that what optimizing compilers can do? That requires an optimization across library calls and thus a form of inlining, which doesn't see far fetched for a math library call. Or some optimizations can't be done due to floating point error propagation (which could be relaxed)?
In Spain it's pretty much expected to be able to host a visit at any hour from the afternoon except for, obviously, eating times.

Wow, I never heard about Baobab. I've just installed it, and it looks awesome! To manage my servers I think I'll stick with ncdu, but for my laptop Baobab is going to be great. Thanks for the tip!
The main thing to realise is that sin and cos are not fundamentally tools for doing geometry. The fact that you can use them for working out side lengths of triangles or converting polar to cartesian coordinates is somewhat incidental.

It doesn't help that at school our first look at sin and cos is all about adjacent sides and opposite sides in right-angled triangles. It's understandable, because jumping straight into the deep end would be too hard, but it's a bit misleading.

In most mathematical applications, the x in "sin(x)" doesn't even represent an angle, so it doesn't make sense to talk about whether sin and cos are "in degrees or in radians". They're simply functions that crop up as solutions to the differential equation that describes harmonic oscillation; or the imaginary and real parts of e^ix; or exponentiation of certain matrices; or a whole load of other stuff I haven't thought of.

In all those settings, it turns out that sin has zeroes at integer multiples of pi, which forces the convention that a half-turn is an angle of pi, and the definition of radians follows from there. But as I said, for the specific case of basic trig, carrying around a scaling factor and doing everything in degrees is easy enough. Carrying that same scaling factor around in pretty much any other application of sin, cos and related functions would be hell.

I am partial to the term "windings", defined as not modulo 1 turn.

I e., we are talking here about two very different quantities. Angle is always within a turn, but rotation, using the same units, is not.
Exactly. Thanks!

Using an airconditioner and lattice structures/jaali are not mutually exclusive.

As an example, if you consider large buildings like hotels that have an open central courtyard, the open spaces could use the lattice structures for cooling/circulation while the rooms, banquet/conference halls and other closed spaces can use airconditioners.

Since the lattices offer passive cooling, they can lower the overall energy bill.
Nothing, but their use in mathematical equations will certainly conflict with the implicit multiplication in equations (i.e. `abc` in a formula means `a * b * c`, not a variable abc).
> and the derivative of sin(x) is ... ?

I believe it's cos(x).
And I fail to see how that would change regardless of what unit x is expressed in. Sorry, my trig is veeery rusty.

Same height/experience, though as someone in my mid 40s I feel like society has gotten worse about it, possibly because younger people are that much taller now. But for instance I was promoted to management in my early 30s.

Yes, for sure, I hope I NEVER have to work in another office again. It's the commute mostly.
Not sure why this is being downvoted, it is an actual thing:

“Several companies operate independent, non-law enforcement ALPR databases, contracting with drivers to put cameras on private vehicles to collect the information.”

https://www.eff.org/pages/automated-license-plate-readers-al...

Motherboard did a deeper dive on one of them:

“DRN is a private surveillance system crowdsourced by hundreds of repo men who have installed cameras that passively scan, capture, and upload the license plates of every car they drive by to DRN's database. DRN stretches coast to coast and is available to private individuals and companies focused on tracking and locating people or vehicles.”

Frankly, I hope I'm out of the C++ eco-system by then.

Speaking of the "desire[s] for [of] C++", it's a matter of design-by-committee and we all know what sort of results this brings. Consultants love each new standard. I am happy about this, that or that other library improvement but I'd wish they'd stop fucking about with the language. Come on guys, you aren't ever going to catch up to ML or lisp or ever return to C's "dirty elegance". Just stop breaking the mental model users have of C++ with every update please?

Sorry that comment went nowhere, I'm massively frustrated with C++, its direction, and I can't wait to leave it behind for good.

But "could this ever happen?" the committee agrees on the wildest stuff, so, sure, why not.
I cannot imagine any sum of money could sway me to ever work full time in an office again.

I do miss the socialization though, but having work be our main source of IRL human interaction is toxic and a lock-in factor.

My solution is going to be starting a hackerspace by me I can pop into whenever.
wow, that’s a pretty sweet deal at that price!
Ok, I'll bite. How would you do that? How do they stay connected and powered?
The DOM is not HTML and not related to HTML. For the first several years of the web there was no DOM. At that time the web was just HTTP and HTML. A first DOM version was created by the W3C specifically for HTML. It was created in the proper spirit, but it was technically immature. It is now referred to as DOM level 0. The actual DOM that became the backbone of web technologies was the DOM Level 1 specification released by the W3C in 1998. It and every revision up to DOM Level 3 was released on the same day as a specification update for the XML Schema standard. The current DOM specification that is actively updated and used by the browsers comes from the WHATWG which is based upon DOM Level 4 from the W3C.

The DOM is a tree-based model for conveying information where points on that tree can reference each other in relational terms. The process of finding or describing a point on the DOM from another point on the DOM is called walking the DOM.

Since the DOM is not HTML, XML Schema, or any other specific language you must think of it as a compile target. As an example WASM is not a language, but a compile target for other languages.

Since the DOM is a tree each node on that tree knows: its parent, its children, and its siblings. In this manner the DOM is a living object because those relational properties on each node are always up to date as the DOM modifies. It seems a major point of confusion from your code examples is how the DOM is expressed. You appear to expect the DOM to be expressed as the tree itself. Most DOM trees are extremely large, so most people would find that unhelpful and illegible. The DOM is expressed from the perspective of a single node on that tree.

You also have to understand there are different node types that comprise the DOM, 12 actually. The most common are text, elements, and attributes. You mention document. There is a node type for that.

As far as I know, the whole tau disruption wasn't proposed by programmers, so I think we're safe on that.

+1 to ProtonMail. I've been using it for several years and was recently grandfathered into their Proton Unlimited plan that allows for additional domains, extra storage, etc. They have had technical issues a couple of times since I started using them, but support was always responsive and it's been overall a nice experience mail-wise.

In terms of their other products, I think they have quite a bit to go with Proton Drive (no widely available Android app is preventing me from switching from Google Drive) and Proton Calendar (unable to import large calendars, won't let you just import future events and ignore past entries to decrease space requirements).

The 12/13 mini is 9% wider and 6% taller[0], so I don't really think it's unfair to write "marginally bigger".

Also, the second picture is a bit misleading because it compares the SE to a container that itself is larger than the mini (as you can see in the third picture).

[0] Numbers from Mactracker. SE is 4.87" x 2.31" = 11.2497"^2. Mini is 5.18" x 2.53" = 13.1054"^2. That's a 16.5% increase in surface area

I share a lot of these characteristics and while I don’t think I’ve actually been discriminated against, internally I feel like it’s inevitable and it makes me incredibly self conscious. More than anything I just want to be invisible. Remote work is pretty helpful in this regard.
This seems to encourage you to run it with a target number of concurrent users, rather than a target RPS from the loaders, which IME can result in difficulty interpreting the results (it also doesn't reflect most use cases, except in some heavily controlled scenarios). When latencies increase, the fixed number of virtual users will necessarily be sending fewer new requests, leading to a constant or decreasing number of RPS actually being served.

Other load testing tools (Gatling, newer versions of k6) will let you set a target RPS instead.

You will not have debates in an organisation. You will have popularity contests. Sometimes those are judged on the merit of what you say, but usually they are judged on how much what you say appeals to the other listeners.

I'm by no mean an expert, but there is some degree of knowledge I might take for granted.

And let's not even start about their 2-speed healthcare system, where the privately insured can get immediate specialist appointments while the pleb can join the back of the queue on the 6 month waiting list.

I worked at a (non-tech) company that had internal org-wide code visibility + a strong culture of README always documenting "How do I run this?"

It was a godsend and game changer for quickly finding reusable code and understanding how it did what it did.

There were some key enablers (well-designed permissions request system, mature EDW), but at the end of the day it was people taking the time.

Since then I've always tried to be that person -- if someone who knows nothing about the project can't get it running on a reasonably standard system by following the steps in the README, then the README isn't finished.

World 1: zero copyright infringement. Everyone pays. No one pirates.

More people write books. (as will be more money in it)

World 1.1 Pays your bills. Doesn't make you rich.

More crappy books.
More high quality books.

World 1.2 Can make you rich.

Many people will write purely for financial reasons.
Some people will be doubly motivated - financial and professional success. They can focus solely on their area of interest, and creating content for it knowing they can also achieve financial success with it.
More books written by companies.
More crappy books.
More high quality books.

World 2: Not one person on earth pays. Every single book has to be for free.

The fewest books produced.
Hobbyists or retired people only.
People will write for passion. Not necessarily the most qualified people.

World 3: Somewhere in between (our world)

In-between.

Look at youtube which is close to world 1.2. There certainly is a TON of crappy content. However, there's also very high quality, professionally produced content in there. No financial incentive means few of those high quality ones would be there.

The suggestion you propose is interesting .. no tax on first k dollars where we raise k from existing levels. Helps rich and poor. I’d be fine with this if it was time limited. E.g. until the war is over and things have adjusted from the pandemic. This would fan inflation due to increase in demand but if time limited to 1 year or 2, it could be palatable.

Sure, there are plenty of people with decades of experience who haven't actually developed beyond a mid level engineer. Long stints aren't proof that somebody is skilled. The point is that short stints are a worrisome thing on resumes at some point. Not a hard line - if I've got a personal relationship with somebody or strong recommendations from people I deeply trust it changes things. But somebody coming into a leadership role needs a lot of time to even understand an organization well enough to propose changes, let alone see those changes through.

"Some new director showed up, reorged us, and left" is a failure mode for organizations. It causes huge problems and needs to be avoided.
As a short person, it is a small disadvantage but not impossible to overcome with significant force of personality and fitness. As disgusting as it is, it is not unreasonable to look at yourself compensating in this way and realising that everyone has something to fix. Very few people are born perfect, and even if they are that doesn't help you get where you want to be.
This is far and away the most glaringly not-ok cultural thing we have leftover. I know there's an actual ISO for dates, but even if there weren't, if you use, oh, a file system, a spreadsheet, or even a filing cabinet, having the year, then the month, then the day, then the hour, minute, second, and so on makes everything sort correctly. We've been using computers for more than a generation at this point.

I get stressed any time i have to parse dates not in this format, usually for old emails, news articles, etc.

I think a huge sticking point is how most people write checks, Jun 6, 2022. Also the US postal system screws up the ordering in a way similar to writing things Jun 6, 2022. first the street number, then street, then subdivision (the building/apartment/department,) then city, then state. Then a zip code (which has the potential to be smaller than the street number, or larger than a city.

Not exactly. You are correct I was being slightly duplicitous, but the point I was trying to make is the claims of being "flooded" by personal requests for conversation are, in my experience, almost entirely overblown – note that I'm talking personal here, not business/work related. The objections to having conversations with friends always seem to boil down to "I need to focus" and "too many interruptions". When you're an IC being constantly interrupted by meetings, I agree. But to apply the same logic to personal acquaintances and friends?

Anecdotally, people who claim they have no time for talking on the phone will have approximately 2-3 friends they talk on a regular (not even daily) basis and spend afternoons binging TV shows. Framing it as a "so much context switching required!" is what's really intellectually dishonest here. Perhaps there's something that is making people anxious or annoyed of talking synchronously with friends over the phone. Sure. But to transpose the work argument doesn't hold water.

Also, once again, anecdotally (but I'd love to see studies about this), people who claim they "only operate well asynchronously" will Never. Ever. Reply to text/email.
