Go do something else, as this job clearly burned you out. Just because you spent a lot of time on it, it doesn't mean it's good. I'm a burned out web designer with 2 decades of experience and applied for a job as an operator for a taxi company. Why? Because I can communicate properly, I speak multiple languages, I have experience with taxi companies from a previous job I had ages ago and the best of all: It's not fucking web design. I am sure you can dig a little deeper to find a skill you can use in a completely different job! And if you don't like it after all, just leave. You need money, not a path to your retirement.

In your case, I would apply for an IT job at a primary school. Literally everything is slow-paced on primary schools (trust me, I made websites for them for 15 years) and with your experience, you'll probably be on of the most valuable assets in their team while at the same time you can enjoy school hours, long vacations, no overtime and you work with a bunch of dorks who have no clue what they're doing. You won't get burned out from telling people to right-click a page and click on 'print'. It's easy.
More like culture.
“Next Thursday” vs “next week Thursday”. The former, for me, means +3 and the latter +10. I don’t think there’s ever been a time when someone I know has said the former but implied +10.

Interesting to see so many people here who do interpret it that way.

There is two factors to this:

1. Less sex
2. Less moisture kept on the penis during sex.

But I don't think permanently altering a baby's penis is worth the trade off of being able to have sex with people who suffer HIV.

"Sat and Sun constitute the weekEND, right?"

"Of course."

"And Sunday is the 7th day, the day of rest?"

"Yeah, that's what they preach at my church."

"What about your workplace?"

"Everybody knows the standard workweek is Mon-Fri. What's your point?"

"Ok, so we're agreed the weekends include Sunday, your Bible says Sunday is the 7th day, and the workweek starts on Monday."

"Yep."

"So printed calendars and day-planners and calendar software should treat weeks as starting on Monday, right?"

Does it actually break or just come loose? Can loctite help?
Iranians are quite ambiguous about that. When there are no riots, they generally blame the West for sanctions, cutting banks out, etc, as it ultimately impacts the normal Joe on the street.

Yet, when there are riots, they blame the West for not sanctioning enough...

One thing I do not understand - and if journalists are reading this, I hope this gets picked up, is that many of the Iranian elite's sons and daughters are actually living in the US. They try to hide that from both the American public, and the Iranian one (complete hypocrisy).

> The daughter of Paul Doerr for example, talking about how wonderful he could be (you know, when he wasn't torturing her); it's just wild irrationality speaking

Or, you know, it's true, because people have more than one side? It's important to remember this fact about people, or else you'll end up doing what you're accusing these people of doing, which is deciding somebody is innocent because you like them.

edit: I mean, the woman opens up her life to researchers, talks of her abuse by the man, and publicly concludes that her father is probably the Zodiac Killer, but that's still not enough for you not to attack her for thinking her father was wonderful sometimes? How uncharitable.
There was already a multi-year pay freeze in the NHS that added up to about 10-15% pay cut. If they reversed it and started giving the 10% annual inflation raise, then yes it could go some way to helping. However, that is so far out of the Overton window. Instead, tax cuts for the rich were prioritised last week.

A big piece of the puzzle is missing from the article. Government funding to academic endeavors was drastically reduced across the board in the 1970s, thanks to sweeping neoliberal reforms. Mass privatization took over and businessmen started running everything.

Computer historians always downplay this major historical hingepoint for a few reasons, but usually because doing so helps conceal just how much the modern computer industry depends on technology which could only have been developed by the public sector.
Depends on what you mean by going.

Just think of all the people who have survived worse and lived to enjoy life later - POWs, prisoners, holocaust/gulag survivors, etc.

Others might derive drive from knowing someone depends on them, or will.

Some of us endure jobs we hate and more just because. What else would we do? This might be as good as it gets, and that's OK.
Considering that the word is from the British and the fact that the week ends with Sunday there, that can't be it. It would also be weekends, not weekend if there was multiple ends. The upcoming weekends doesn't mean Saturday and Sunday in the US... It occurs over a time period of at least one whole week into the future...right?
Oh, at the time, I probably felt miffed over it, and maybe once responded with a juvenile signature, "Sent from my iPhone that your mom bought me".

But, more general than incidents of iPhone bragging/enthusiasm, I have more data points now, of different people's various motivations and thinking, and I try to remind myself not to get bent out of shape.

Would it necessarily be a bad thing for Iranian ethnic minorities to separate?
That only applies to things that are not obviously oriented. No one would try to argue that when they said "we'll do a recap at the end of meetings", what they meant is both the start and the end. This is not ambiguous at all and I don't even believe you believe in this argument.

That's not a metaphor. Copyright infringement/ ip violation is not theft. When an item is stolen, you lose it. When your copyright is infringed, you may not even know it happens.

A lot of defenders of copyright often liken ip violation to theft. I remember a famous campaign where I'm from saying "piracy is theft". This is misinformation and fallacy. Copyright infringement is not theft, and there is no reason it should be treated as such
Some of them do. Some of them do not. But its a really big hit and miss on the Hacker News. Its really a lot more 'balanced' on Lobsters or Reddit for example ... but its probably a lot more people read/open Hacker News then some subreddit.

What is a real mystery for me is sometimes I add some stuff to HN and it gets 2-3 votes (and misses everything). Then someone else does the same and it gets the Hacker News Front Page and 10000 views - where is the login in that? :)

The Ethiopian calendar still do this, 12 months of 30 days each and a last 5 to 6 "month".

The reddit thread is funny but it also forget than there is not only one calendar in the actual world... Long time ago, i have meet an indian who was never able to explain to me witch days he was forbidden to eat meat (he was not a strict vegetarian), or even food at all. It was probably a mix of one of the indian calendars, horoscope and religion.
JMAP works great for this too. It’s a shame JMAP isn’t widely implemented - it’s a lovely standard.
Underserved areas are like 98% of the earth’s surface and include some rather wealthy entities like airlines, shipping/logistics, mining and resources, cruise liners, billionaire’s yachts, and of course governments of small/island countries.
> Per my knowledge US is the only country which stubbornly (and illogically) considers Sunday to be the first day of the week;

What do you mean by this? I mean, what behaviors do US people exhibit to show this to be true?

I was born in the US and have lived here almost my entire life. I consider Monday to be the first day of the week, and I haven't seen anything in US culture to indicate that other people disagree or behave otherwise (except for the default behavior in some calendar apps in the US locale).
That article seems to state the opposite?
If Caesar designed the calendar, how did he get a month in there named after something that hadn’t happened yet? When Caesar died Augustus’ name was Octavian, and Rome hadn’t had an emperor yet…
The main issues with dragging .app files (or their cousin, .pkg files) are:

- That's only for GUI applications. Almost everyone reasonable developing GUI apps for macOS uses this method. However, CLI apps also have to update $PATH, which involves running a script. Package managers handle doing this better than macOS's frameworks because they were designed to do such a thing.

- There's absolutely no system for updates. Each app has a separate daemon consuming background resources just to check whether it has an update available for itself, and every app has a different way of actually installing the update. Just try having a system with Audacity, Adobe, Chrome, and Microsoft Office installed and you'll see what I mean (Microsoft Office and Adobe have a separate app installed just to update their original apps, Chrome installs updates in the background by sneakily updating its .app file, and Audacity just tells you an update is available and makes you restart the app to install it). This is why Homebrew manages .app files despite the fact that a “package manager” already exists for these*.

[note] I'm ignoring the App Store because most macOS developers don't submit their apps for the App Store because it's restrictive in many ways

- Using a package manager allows saving storage space and RAM usage for dependencies – only one copy of a library is loaded into memory and stored on disk

This is why apps to manage packages (e.g. Homebrew) exist. While we can debate the merits of Homebrew itself in terms of how well it does that, Homebrew does, in fact, solve a problem. If you believe it's not necessary to solve this problem, you can install the apps yourself, of course.

Japan? NEC, Hitachi, and Fujitsu all used to make mainframes.

Hitachi has merged their line with IBM z-Series, but I think it's still for sale? Fujitsu still sells several lines, and NEC still sells in Japan.

I suspect their customers are pretty similar though: banks and airlines.
First, there's really nothing small cost about Bannister's stopwatch:

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-the-omega-bannister-stopwa...

Sure, I can pick up the awesome Casio F-91W today for £10 and it would do much the same job. But for the modern day money equivalent of that gorgeous Omega piece I'm going to be able to afford a high-end GPS watch. There's nothing comparatively exponential about it.

Accuracy requirements will depend on training context - if you're running 60 second laps on a track and trying to shave 1 second of your mile PR like Bannister was, then you'll be wanting a certified track and decisecond accurate clock. If you're training for the marathon and running 5K repeats on the road, a few 10s of meters or seconds here or there doesn't really matter.

I can understand why some people don't want to run with a smartwatch, measure themselves, broadcast their progress to all on social media, judge themselves against others, and so on. (I also don't generally judge those who do, unless they're truly awful!)

I can also understand why some people would rather not run with any measure of time or distance at all. They feel it gets in the way, they'd rather just run free, they'd rather just run for fun, or they'd rather just race others for places in the spirit of pure competition.

I just can't get my head around the concept (and this isn't the first time I've heard it), that somehow old-school watches are acceptable but modern watches are bad. It smacks of neo-luddism (or sometimes hipsterism).

Sure. Hope you don't have anything important running on electricity, like say life support systems.

This is what bothered me a bit too.

I half expected a punchline from the alien like "wow, your method of time keeping seems pretty simple compared to ours", hinting at the universal nature of evolution and gradual learning over time.
What I don't understand about this: What's the point of bringing on so many engineers with the expectation of firing many of them? It takes time to get productive and especially when you hire lots of engineers they will probably work on new projects. Spending a lot of money on an engineer and then firing them before they start to really produce value is very odd...
I read it more like the word 'attain' means to internalize those writing abilities are your own; and reading others will not work to achieve developing such an ability. As such, this advice is about the same as most advice I've seen from great writers - read a lot, but write more.
> Running strictly from memory, they are also prone to memory corruption. Odd, I know, but I see it at the scale we operate. Thus, they need to be treated as interruptible machines. Reboot to running is about 60s.

The biggest misconception about traditions is that people just randomly decided to do it and punish those who don't follow.

The most probable case is that traditions, such as male circumcision were done for a particular purpose and ritualised into a traditional to share and continue that process.

It's only in more modern ages where we said that rituals aren't enough and we need to think of medical reasons for it as well.

Considering how much of the mind is an enigma it's arms race to find out positive reasons of why we do certain traditions before we get rid of them completely from not understanding them.
Actually, the nuclear situation in France is the exact same as Belgium, with the same causes, except in 2010 some investment were made to make the plant last twenty more years. Those investments weren't done between 2019 and 2022, for multiple reasons but with one base: the general public don't really care, nor like talking about nuclear plant. Conservatives have nothing to do with this, as they weren't really in power since 2012.

Energy is a complex issue, probably the most complex societal, technical and social issue we have, and trying to put everything on one single actor (or movement) do not make the discussion constructive. I'm for a diverse mix and reducing gas, oil and coal, not in percentage but in actual quantity (we don't really do this in europe sadly).
I noticed you just claimed nobody could replicate the results but provided no evidence for your claim that either 1) estrogen in the water is in unhealthy levels due to birth control or 2) nobody could replicate the results.

I think it's pretty clear you don't care about scientific evidence but think women having consensual, nonreproductive sex is icky, so very much want it to be true that birth control is poison, and don't really care about the truth level of what you are posting as long as it feels true.

As for your other point, I already said there's no such thing as hookup culture, that's just an outlandish stereotype you want to box people into.
At 1:00, they claim microwaves will trigger a photoelectric cell used as an anti-tamper mechanism in a mine if someone is "beaming" him with microwaves. That doesn't make any sense. Photoelectric cells are there to detect... photons. Light. And they're indeed used as anti-tamper mechanisms.
Or released at all. Elon does a lot of cool stuff but generates even more vaporware.
6-day work weeks are still common in agriculture, and the Bible is silent on what the exact weekday the sabbath lands on. Some people really argue that it's supposed to be Saturday, but traditionally Jesus's resurrection is said to have happened on Sunday, so most Christian churches went along with that.

My own personal opinion: it matters not what day you consider to be the sabbath, but it does help when a community agrees on a day and goes along with it. So for me, Sunday it is. (It also doesn't matter how a calendar is printed; it could start on Wednesday for all I care. It'd be weird, but it wouldn't change anything.)
I posted this in a comment thread but I feel like it's worthy of its own.

The biggest misconception about traditions is that "people just randomly decided to do it and punish those who don't follow."

The most probable case is that traditions, such as male circumcision, were done for a particular purpose and ritualised into a tradition to share and continue that process.

It's only in more modern ages where we said that "rituals aren't enough" and we need to think of medical reasons for it as well. (Cue, studies in Africa, etc)

> As the newest senior leader on Shopify’s engineering team, Polinsky will lead Shopify’s efforts to build its e-commerce infrastructure and will lead the company’s efforts to double its engineering team in 2021 by hiring 2,021 new technical staff. [0]

> “Engineering hiring is probably the biggest limiter to Shopify’s growth,” Harley Finkelstein [President of Shopify] said in an interview after the results. The company had hoped to hire 2,021 new engineers this year and current conditions mean “obviously, it’s hard to do that,” he said, without disclosing the number that have been hired.
A tight market for talent is a worry for many industries but none more so than technology. Universities are not producing enough new engineers and the entire sector is competing for graduates, Finkelstein said. [1]

As of today they only have 10 open positions in the "Engineering & Development" department, the majority of which are for Staff/Tech Leads. [2]

Perhaps it would behoove Shopify to put a bit more thought into their hiring strategy; rather than just wanting to inflate engineer numbers as a vanity metric via jingly campaigns (2021 on 2021). "Just a number on the page".

Nope, but perhaps in later model year software builds.

The real number is actually way lower, probably.
Um what? Nothing in IMAP prevents you from doing the same. Just because most client implementations assume you want to keep your mail on the server by default, does not mean the protocol doesn’t account for the other possibility.

And to be fair, configuring most clients to retrieve and then delete, or keep a local copy in addition to the server one, is not difficult at all - these options are not hidden or anything.
What part of English Canada? In Alberta or Ontario (the parts I've lived in, though I was pretty young when I lived in Ontario) I've literally never seen a calendar with Monday as the first day of the week that I can recall.
There's plenty of studies done comparing the footprint of nuclear to solar/wind, generally they show they're more or less equivalent, depending on what you measure and various assumptions built into the study - at least one IPCC study showed nuclear could have a measurably (up to 4x!) lower carbon footprint than solar. At any rate there's certainly no real reason to object to nuclear on environmental grounds (but on economical grounds, terrorism risk, plutonium proliferation, etc., sure, there are downsides that don't really exist with renewables).
