Yeah, leads will have meetings about "getting to the next level" and offer vague advice like, "I need to see more" which is just gut feeling garbage.

I work, I collect pay, I leave. If I want a promo, I would just leave and get +20% and a new title and get to be useless for 6 months at a new job.

Why would I do more for nothing now and maybe something vague in the future?
Frankly, if a user cannot trust their EV to charge without going up in flames it is not ready for prime time and should be recalled. Period.
I recently switched from a carbon filter with a canfan to a medifyair MA-40. I think the medifyair is far superior to the straight carbon filter. It also is significantly quitter than my old set up and still pushed ~220 CPM. They are a little pricey but well worth it in my opinion.
Re the finite nature of libido: this seems to be a non-issue. Men chained to a sexless marriage have no other sanctioned outlet. Unmarried and younger, well, no one says you need to play sports, you can watch them on TV too.

Probably the actual social issue is when people trained on porn meet others in real life and have stilted expectations. But there's no socially acceptable way for guys to learn about sex when they're peaking in libido (ages 16-19) so what do you expect? Sex education is more about prevention than how to do it. If we taught phys ed like we taught sex ed, it'd all be about how to wrap twisted ankles and adjust helmet straps.

In the same way that there's no requirement for anybody to accept sexual overtures from anyone else, there's no requirement for anyone to make them. Telling people they have no right to sex, and no right to take care of their libido, is just cruel.
It seems I messed up the definition of glottalized but unless I am deliberate I also barely pronounce the t in wait.

Aluminum smelters have traditionally only been able to modulate a few percent, and many monitized that to sell demand response to the grid in return for cheaper power.

But its not a fundamental limitation, it was just the cheapest way to take advantage of the existing power system.

Set up somewhere with cheap hydro they can't fully use and ship out the energy as metal, running at nearly full power all the time.

Since there was no benefit to running at a higher variable draw, only costs, no one bothered.

Now there are benefits, so someone made a way to take advantage of them. And smelters who use it will be able to have access to cheaper energy, in more locations:

And simulaneously, the grid gets more storage, allowing it to roll out more cheap renewables.

This, replicated in specific unique ways across every industry that uses energy, is going to be the real solution to storage of renewables.

I've said before¹ that I'm convinced that ‘undefined behavior’ was an actual mistake by the C89 committee that would not have been accepted if anyone at the time had realized the future implications. It is precisely “a license for the compiler to undertake aggressive optimizations that are completely legal by the committee's rules, but make hash of apparently safe programs” (as dmr said of `noalias`²).

Compiler, Language, and Software engineer people do not often overlap, and so neither do their constraints. Over time you see opposing drift occurring, where language people end up designing languages nice for language development, software engineers design software nice for software development, and so on..

Consider what is nice for compiler development but is not nice for software engineering.
Obviously I'd be very happy, but I would not be peddling my "data driven" miracle cure to the Interweb.
You added a bunch of constraints there which equate it to colonizing an uninhabitable planet like Mars.
It makes perfect sense to me that if MSFT made IE a necessary component to upgrade the operating system, then insisting the OS needs that executable is an absolutely (technically) correct thing to say.

I said it vindicating their decision- not that IE was a good foundation to build a presentation layer on.
According to TIOBE, C has lost 60% of its popularity between 2015 and 2017, and then doubled next year. What's more likely: that a 40-year-old language C had such a massive sudden swing, or that TIOBE data is garbage and measures search engine's algorithms, not language relevance?

It's not just about the rate. Charging at night happens because the car is conveniently parked at home doing nothing and EV owners want a car ready to go in the morning. Charging at EV station during the day is time consuming and is often expensive. I'm sure that the lucky few that can charge at work already do so...
I’ve got a Google “exclusive swag” branded messenger bag, it’s a lovely timbuk2 hand made from excellent materials. It’s been my bag of choice for 7 years, only just started to show signs of wear despite travelling with it extensively.

I’ve never worked at Google, I won it at a charity auction for PyLadies at a Python conference and not only was it for a good cause but worth every dollar. I don’t think I’ve had a better bit of swag. Its even been a humorous conversation started at times when people assume I either work for or used to work for Google because I have the bag, particularly at software conferences.

Some swag is definitely higher quality and I think Google put some serious money behind their bag selection at least for the years between your bag and mine.
Yeah, I'm not with a FAANG but I'm having an experience where we seem to have replaced all learning opportunities with horrible online presentation style courses. It's like they've taken as many bad practices about providing a learning experience and automated them.

Monotonous speaker? Check. Visuals that don't relate well to the content? Check. Wall of text slides? Check. Lack of opportunity to ask questions? Check. Asocial learning environment? Check. Bad pacing? Check. Prescriptive teaching style which doesn't give learners an opportunity to broaden their understanding? Check. Uncompelling or just nonexistent narrative? Check. Badly targeted subject matter? In spades.
You'd have to take my word for it I guess that these were real cases.

The first time this happened was a physical product with intention to sell to a very large American company with which my company had a relationship going back decades. I did as I was told (did not get to step 5 until after release, there were steps in between 4 and 5 which caused me significant political blowback). Ultimately they did not appreciate the corner cutting and declined to purchase. My quitting moment came when I was asked to be involved in mislabeling product to indicate it was up to standard X when it did not come to our supplier that way. The pressure I was put under to do that put me in therapy. I was a recent graduate with a young child, tough times. A year after I quit, my former company was parted out.

The last time this happened was software used for planning national infrastructure. Case 1,2,3 were common cases that would give very obviously incorrect results. The naive case was if a sliding parameter was always set to one particular value, opening that value up to change was a can of worms that required a whole new architecture. Ultimately I held my ground with the PM and said I would not build it incorrectly and implied it was a dealbreaker for me. I convinced the architect and PO of the correctness (PM was former frontend and had no clue what any of the backend stuff meant). Ultimately I ended up on the PM's (my manager) shitlist and the PO (apparently with the memory of a goldfish) couldn't understand why that feature slipped several sprints. I had better things to do so again I quit. I don't really expect that company to last too much longer at least in its current form. There were already "pivots" on the horizon which gave me deja vu (I expect company owner was gearing up for a sale).

In both cases there were pretty bad shakeups (unbeknownst to me) in the year prior to my joining. In the last case I would have appreciated a friendly heads up from a buddy at the company (they no longer had a real QA dept, they were all fired for "poor communication").

I guess I joined these companies because I have a soft heart for companies with deep history. I certainly learned a lot but my beard is a bit greyer than I'd like for my age. I think the rot was too deep to point out in each case without royally pissing of some of the longest tenured, better than betraying my ethics I guess.

I've had good work in between the first and last where my raising the flag was taken quite seriously and procedures were updated to mitigate, but still I feel I have a black mark on my name.
Not all of the schools on the top 5 list are that elite. Three are public and only two are private. And UW Madison is not a super elite institution. For many people it wouldn't be in their top 20 schools, maybe more. I was surprised there was only one Ivy on the top-5 list. When I saw that list of schools, I thought "this person is saying these are the hyper-elite schools that are making too many professors?"
My big company stopped sending swag/care packages to employees shortly before they started pressuring everyone on RTO. Before that RTO campaign there was a lot of language shared about employee satisfaction and "taking care of each other", etc.

They also acknowledge the employee NPS score has gone down but have used a lot of corporate speak to "speak to" that score without initiating any responses to it. I'm pretty sure they, and probably like many others, think the lower ENPS scores and RTO are the only correlation for employee attitudes right now.

So no, the care packages aren't really important, but they're usually commensurate with other endeavors from the top that may not sit well. As another example, the company has done nothing to acknowledge nor address rising attrition... which started before the economy turned (I fully acknowledge they may be happy with it). But the attrition -- even welcomed -- usually has a negative impact on morale overall.
Why not, it sounded like you had a good amount of investor interest? Was it just moral objections, cause while items 2-5 seem fine as business ideas I would have assumed anyone trying to sell item 1 wouldn’t have cared about porn if money was involved.
Yes, speaking as an insider, cheating at universities like Harvard, Stanford, and MIT is ubiquitous. I'm not talking about undergrads copying exams, so much as research fraud, bizarre financial schemes to funnel endowment funds into faculty pockets, conflicts-of-interest, and occasionally, actual crime.

I was following the article until I ran into xenophobia:

"The absurd parental efforts of an Amy Chua, as recounted in her 2010 bestseller Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, were simply a much more extreme version of widespread behavior among her peer-group, which is why her story resonated so deeply among our educated elites."

Chua is an immigrant academic who has devoted much of her life to the study of cultural dynamics in the US. She published an honest account of her life parenting in the US, coming from a different cultural background, as a means of helping people understand the immigrant experience with America trying to Americanize them.

Instead, what she did got cast through an American cultural lens, anecdotes got distorted by the media, and she got beat up over a very personal, very honest, very well-crafted account.

I am an immigrant, and her book resonated 100% with me. Things I do with my kid seem absurd from an American cultural perspective. It's not the same set of things as Amy did, at all, but that's true of most immigrant families from different cultures, be that Middle Eastern countries, Africa, or many other places.

An author of this article either doesn't know what they're writing about (they're citing a book they haven't read), or they're lying.
Yeah the second is the upgrade from the first (but see the other thread for detailed recommendations). All the N95s that are disposable work for general quick things, but they are not comfortable or the best.
Batteries are lasting far longer than anticipated.

Anecdotally, I have fast DC charged my 2018 Model S (100kw pack) for the majority of the 100k miles I’ve put on the car, and only have 7% battery degradation. Others are seeing similar longevity well into hundreds of thousands of miles.

I've been reading Douglas Copeland's 1994 novel "Microserfs" recently and there's a bit where the main character starts reading up on actual highway construction in response to the information superhighway.
So, if truth was said 2,000 years ago, it certainly can't apply today...interesting.

If anything it is us that have changed our minds, and we continue to do so. How likely is it that our culture will change its mind on what murder is, and what acts it encompasses, and the degree of good or evil... in the next generation, let alone two millenia?

Hey as long as you enjoy some aspect of work that is fine. If you find things you enjoy more outside of work and derive true meaning from things outside of work, then that's amazing. All I was saying was _IF_ there is absolutely nothing you enjoy about work, then I imagine it would be quite difficult to enjoy working with you.

I worked at Google as an SRE. I'm at Meta now. I always disliked all the swag (goes straight into the trash) and parties and travel. But I'm a suburban mom so I don't need more junk and I like to be home with my family. Remote work is all the perks I'll ever want or need. Maybe tech companies should hire more suburban moms. We can be placated with boxes of wine and zoom yoga classes lmaooo.
More likely there should have been an options agreement available, but that only makes sense if you're building a business for an exit. There are a lot of private businesses that do not give any equity to employees, even at senior levels.

Charge at work.
I know Google employees who pretty much took arbitrary time off during Covid. There was seemingly no accountability as the cash cow kept on producing and stock prices kept on going up.

Google employees who feel hurt by these actions can feel free to find a better deal elsewhere. After all, they're clearly the cream of the crop by virtue of being paid huge sums of money...
It didn't though. Steve Jobs’ vision of simple web applications was realised with the first iPhone. Native applications added to that, they didn’t take it away.

This idea that web applications only “count” if they can send push notifications is bizarre. You know everybody was building web applications just fine without push notifications before 2009, right? And that native iPhone applications didn’t have push notifications either to begin with?

Just because Apple added push notifications to native iPhone applications, it doesn’t mean that all web applications suddenly ceased to be “real” applications because they couldn’t do it yet.

That's a good way of putting it, even though I disagree with your implication that implementing public health guidance was the political "line" was crossed.

My take is that in the (maybe distant) past, facts and observable events were beyond the line that politics should cross. If anyone could observe something was happening, then politics had no business stepping in and distorting that reality. We could all see that people were dying of COVID. It was indeed real, and an observable crisis. But politics stepped in and crossed the "reality distortion line" and it became a valid political opinion to deny reality and fight the messengers of that reality. In their view, reality was political, and we should just ignore COVID and act, and that would somehow produce a different reality where COVID didn't exist. A quote from the Bush administration, widely believed to be from Karl Rove, summarized this politicization of facts:

"The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'."

The movie "Don't Look Up" really nailed how we now seem to respond politically to factual, observable crises, and how non-political facts become "politicized."

I disagree, especially in the case of email, as someone who has done the onerous work of running a mail server. You are at a huge market disadvantage, both as a provider, and as a client, if you are not on gmail. Google preferences gmail hosted domains when it comes to spam filtering for email, and it makes a big difference as to whether or not an email can actually land in your inbox.

The way things are now, I can't ever in good conscious recommend any small or medium sized business own any part of the email infrastructure except the MX record, I've simply seen too many cases of the financial damage caused by not using gmail as a host.

Requiring all hosts to operate on a single, fair, well defined standard would be to the benefit of the people of the United States.
You have to distribute it yourself, there's no automatic distribution on Signal's part.
Conversely, though, if you've already lost the trust of your employees—by overworking over the course of years, underpaying them, and generally treating them poorly—those small gestures suddenly seem very paltry and, in some cases, insulting. Because it makes it seem as if you think you can make up for all that abuse just with a few free lunches and free donuts in the conference room.

hey,

We were running with the same problem (supercomputer with clusters of different architecture and no outgoing connections permitted) and so we created "pypickup" [1,2]. nice to see that we came with similar solutions! I have some questions:

1. is the directory of packages you create compatible with the PEP 503? (so I can use `--index-url file://PATH_TO_LOCAL_CACHE` flat with pip and it should work)

2. is there some filtering mechanism? e.g. we are not interested in non-release versions ("dev" versions, "rc" versions, "post" versions, ...)

3. I guess that the way morgan resolves dependencies is by manually parsing files like "pyproject.toml" or "requirements.txt" and it does not ask the build-system for the dependencies. if so...

- does "morgan" detect build-dependencies?

- which build-systems are compatible?

- is "morgan" capable of detecting more complex dependency specifications? e.g. "oldest-supported-numpy" which is used by "spicy" has dependency strings like the following: numpy==1.19.2; python_version=='3.8' and platform_machine=='aarch64' and platform_python_implementation != 'PyPy'

kudos for the good work

If there are three or four good moves of approximately equal strength in a position, then it just isn't a position where someone at grandmaster level needs to cheat or benefits from doing so. They were going to find one of those moves anyway.
It's not a problem, it's an opportunity to optimize energy use to match how it's now generated.
As far as I can tell, employing yourself via a limited company being cheaper is no longer true, contrary to what the turnkey company industry would like you to believe. With the higher rate for dividend tax being 33.75%, dividends that lead to a total income over 37700 are taxed at ~47% (dividend tax+corporation tax).
And don’t forget the battery. A mic recording 24/7 would drain the battery much faster and would not go unnoticed unless specialized hardware is used like the one for “hey siri” and “ok google”.
