lol - that's like begging people to not cash a giant tax refund check to 'help the gov't'.

I get that it causes angst in the destination, but that is the last thing on anyone's mind when they're considering such a disruptive life change. They're moving because they're miserable right now. That it might make someone else slightly uncomfortable politically later?

And that's ignoring the whole 'no single raindrop causes the flood' issue. Beating up on any individual doesn't make a bit of difference. These changes are being driven by macro-economic shifts.

On a side note, what is also likely contributing? Nasty, nasty air pollution 1/4 to 1/2 of the year in the SF bay area due to all the fires.

A small Windows utility called caffeine generates fake keypresses (F15 which is not on most keyboards) and/or moves the mouse slightly, which prevents screen lock from kicking in.

Both Texas and California struggle to keep the power on. They both make memes about it, too.

Sure, but this applies to the whole of pre-med as a discipline - it sits solidly within the STEM overall area. It's not like other classes in the program are any less reality-based.
Correct. The UK doesn’t have a large domestic market or much in the way of resources. The US has both.
Thanks.

So you mean that because there are plenty of hospital beds and ventilators, the system is not overwhelmed?

I see the doctors, nurses and the rest of the staff as part of the system. If there's not enough of them to cope with the demand, then the system is overwhelmed.
I was responding to the OP's willingness to pay extra for DoorDash. I agree with your complaint.

Of course some infantile shut-in or DoorDash shill downmodded my straightforward observation. Every day this site descends into Redditude.
I think it's more that they're complaining that when everyone moves out to the sticks to be 'somewhere less crowded' - that place becomes crowded. Or at least more so.

And that the reason why the original place was so crowded is because people like them wanted to all be there, and the politics and other things there are negatively perceived by the people who DIDN'T move there.

Also, when everyone all the sudden starts buying homes in a previously not in demand are, the homes start getting difficult to afford, as demand is increasing. Especially for people who have been living there awhile already, and don't have the cash that the folks leaving the previously crowded areas have.

I've personally seen this same cycle happen 3 times in California (and PNW/Texas).

I do wonder if this blog post might be used by Meta in a way the authors didn't intend. Stating that they are not at all worried about competition from Meta is exactly what Meta needs to present as evidence.

Aside from that I'm not convinced SimulaVR shouldn't be worried. Regardless of whether Meta is targeting the productivity space intentionally (it is, I think) SimulaVR can very easily be a casualty of their dominance. For example I was interested in buying into SimulaVR but I probably won't if the Quest Pro is even close to good enough because along with that I get access to all the Oculus games etc.
Does "buy shares of a home" mean that you're funding someone else's home purchase? If you owned >50% of the shares, would that entitle you to control who lives there?
As fridges increasingly become inverter-drive (ie: continuous drive), it’s my dream that one day they’ll have a 48VDC port and anyone can setup a PV on them, no permit required. Or bypass their inverter from their battery bank (before the fridge rectifies it and inverts it again).

It’ll use solar when available and grid for the rest.

Since it’s inverter drive, it can use whatever amperage comes in, even if it means running a 5% duty cycle and do at least something. The contents are the battery!
Ranked voting is supposed to prevent winner take all strategic voting. Voting by score encourages you to score everybody at zero except your favourite(s). This arguably means there will be less information in the vote tallies, although it gives voters more control over how their opinion will be responded to, and that is valuable

There's a recent Sabine video about this very topic, actually. It didn't sound promising.
A couple of ideas that California could use to reclaim water:

- Desalinization! Desalinization! Desalinization! start building a ton of these plants all along the coast.

- Reduce crops that are heavy water users(almonds etc).

- Push to phase out grass yards, give residents tax breaks to convert to natural landscapes.

- Better reclamation of gutter water(from rain) in cities, as of now it just all flows right to the ocean/bay.

Even with all these steps I think California will still need to cut back, its natural state is one that is very dry, like multi-decade droughts kind of dry, the 20th century was abnormally rainy and people think that is how its always been. See here for more info about what California's climate has been like the past 2000 years:

Replicache (https://replicache.dev/) and clientdb (https://clientdb.dev/) are the only productized versions of this architecture I'm aware of (please do let me know if anyone is aware of others!).

But the architecture itself has been used successfully in a bunch of apps, most notable of which is probably Linear (https://linear.app/docs/offline-mode, I remember watching an early video of their founder explaining the architecture in more detail but I can't seem to find it anymore (edit: found it! https://youtu.be/WxK11RsLqp4?t=2175)).

Basically the way authorization works is you define specific mutations that are supported (no arbitrary writes to client state, so write semantics are constrained for ease of authorization and conflict handling), with a client-side and server-side implementation for each mutation. The client side gets applied optimistically and then sync'ed and ran on the server eventually, which applies authorization rules and detects and handles conflicts, which can result in client state getting rolled back if authorization rules are violated or if unresolvable conflicts are present. Replicache has a good writeup here: https://doc.replicache.dev/how-it-works#the-big-picture

He'd be expending the political capital of his party. If he felt like this pardon would've made it harder for Democrats to get elected in 2016, that might be a reason why he didn't do it.
Sorry, when I said "talking his book" that's like a finance term for advocating for things that would benefit the positions you hold.

> Talking your book is a phrase used to describe what portfolio managers are doing when they discuss their portfolio holdings. It is generally assumed that this discussion is to create interest (and buyers) of these securities. This will ultimately benefit the price of the security and the manager’s portfolio.

Your worldview is unsupported by the scientific and sociological consensus, and facts in general, and I'm not particularly interested in arguing about it. Many of the assertions you make here are simply untrue, and it's very easy to ascertain the truth by reading relevant research; I suggest you do so.

i think about this a lot with my kids. due to smartphones we have thousands of pictures of their early life, so they "remember" all these things that happened when they were 1 year old etc. because theyve seen these pictures enough times they legitimately do remember the picture at least and can recall the events, but im sure without all the pictures they would have no memory of any of it.

There’s always going to be a trade-off when dealing with humans: voting result optimization vs ease of voting.

That’s always been the issue, not that we don’t know of better result counting theories.

Even in the 2020s, the ballots are explained over and over, “Connect the horizontal line”, or “fill in the box completely” — it’s a binary input to capture the best information from the lowest denominator.

STAR would change the input from binary to an order N, and the number of mistakes or “that’s not what I intended” will happen.

The average HN reader probably can fill in boxes pretty good, but the outside world not so much. RCV is a decent compromise.

The link is to an image of the Arctype newsletter I received. I apologize for not having a better source. I couldn't find an online version of the newsletter, or any news sources that covered the end-of-life announcement.

If you go to the Arctype website (https://arctype.com/) you can see that you can no longer download the app, and you see an announcement banner at top that they are joining ClickHouse.

I am personally pretty sad that development won't continue on the Arctype SQL Client, as it is the primary client I currently use.
This makes it easier to get started with Debian.

If the project, or motivated users want to detail exactly how to run Debian without nonfree firmware, that would be great.

And just as the nonfree installer was available but kept slightly hidden (even though it's difficult to install on just about any laptop without it), I'm sure there will be Debian Developers motivated to continue providing a fully free installer for those who want it.
I don't believe that there is anything stopping two candidates from one party. I believe I have even seen it before, but I can't find a reference.
After playing with a C64 Maxi replica (mine has the VIC-20 colors) I can't think of using a vintage computer without a matching keyboard (and often mouse). The experience is not only the pixels on the screen and the sounds of the speaker, but the whole spatial relationship with the physical object.

It probably doesn't need to be an almost perfect replica like the 64 Maxi, but having the keys in the same places (even if there is no ESC key - looking at you, DEC LK-201). On my desk, my two daily drivers are a Sun Type 7c (Type 7 is in storage, waiting for its rotation) and an IBM/Lexmark/Unicomp PC-122 Model M, and I can say each of them provides a unique experience, tactile, spatial, and, on the Model M's case, auditory.

I'm thinking about learning how to build keyboards and make a couple DIY ones. Switches can't be the same, but, at least, physical layout, keycap shapes, labels, and colors can be matched.

In the workforce - the real answer is that the 1x engineers really really aren't operating at full capacity. You assume all parties give it their all. They rarely do.

Get through college

Do what you have to in other to get the job.

Do what you have to in order to keep the job.

10x people do some very basic things. They care. They read about code. They have side projects. They improve their skills because doing so is fun.

In a company that hires "the best" and pays very well you shouldn't see a 1x 10x divide, assuming they hire well.

In those that don't, those that only want work done and don't particularly care? That's where the dichotomy presents itself.

There is nothing inherently wrong with either group. Work gets paid, you don't have to be a magical 10x engineer to be worth the salary. And there's no shame in coding as a job instead of as a hobby.
No, the author’s hypothesis is that the professional middle class carved out a space for itself between the working class and the rich, using their specialized knowledge as the differentiating factor, and that they use all kinds of gatekeeping mechanisms to make sure that anyone who wants to enter their professions has to be credentialed, which typically involves dedicating the first third of their lives to education. The purpose of this gatekeeping is to ensure that there is enough of a scarcity to ensure good wages for those who have the right credentials, and to make sure that self taught or informally taught amateurs can’t enter the field.

Within that context, Organic Chemistry is put forth as an example of one such gate that all aspiring doctors must clear, even though they promptly forget the material when the class is over. The admission policies you pointed out are another such gate.

The book was written in the 1980s, and in the later chapters the author explores how the events of 20th century have impacted the system described above. For example, the substantial cuts to government spending enacted during the Reagan administration, and worsening prospects for jobs like professors and social workers, caused students to switch the focus of their college education towards getting a degree that would enable them to enter a field that would allow them to make a lot of money, rather than one they may have been intrinsically interested in. The distillation of this effect is, in my opinion, what we’re seeing here with the NYU students.
There are many ways to approach this sort of thing. For example I work similarly, all code running on a powerful slurm-managed cluster that i can access using anything with ssh, but I just use stuff like tmux and cli editors that are already installed on the server rather than use a gui based editor. we have an lmod system with prebuilt packages of a lot of software we typically use with various versions represented, and we also use environmental managers such as conda/mamba and workflow control tools which are straightforward to use. Seems simple enough imo.
Same in California, but I nonetheless heard a dean from UC Berkeley talking about how they "push the envelope" in terms of legality. It's easy to accomplish via a "holistic assessments".

I think it might be part of it! I also think it might be due to an effect on the Sigma-1 receptor. I can’t elucidate it further, I can only recall glimpses of insight from papers I was reading a while back. I only remember one title at the moment. Warning: EXTREMELY handwavy and speculative!

Chronic activation of sigma-1 receptor evokes nociceptive activation of trigeminal nucleus caudalis in rats – https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbb.2014.06.023

My extremely speculative guess wrapped in hunch clad in doubt is that, well, as a premise, 5-HT2A activation due to psychedelics causes downregulation of that same receptor (5-HT2A). This is known and accepted afaik. And: The 5-HT2A receptor seems to be intimately related to the Sigma-1 receptor – and the Sigma-1 receptor is inside cells – so potentially it is the downregulation of the “outside” 5-HT2A receptor that then allows the Sigma-1 receptor set to get a bit of a break?

Edit: Thing is, word on the street for literally decades has been that LSD and psilocybin help with migraine and cluster headaches. Finally there has been a study on it, which confirms the effect (to a certain degree; it’s a small preliminary study): Exploratory Controlled Study of the Migraine-Suppressing Effects of Psilocybin (2020) – https://doi.org/10.1007/s13311-020-00962-y

Do people actually believe these kinds of things? Like what comprehensive leadership happens solely in an IDE?

It sounds like this messaging for people who are on a career track that will never not be grunt work. And even if the goal was to lead someone into being the best code grunt possible, how do you lead them to that point through only the code?
Northeastern Graduate Students' Privacy Invaded to Repurpose Their Lab Space
I was once subpoenaed by the state of New York. It was worded similarly, asking for a bunch of information and my personal appearance. I have never lived or worked in New York, and at the time was just a broke college student, so taking time off school to fly there would be more than an inconvenience. The information they sought was related to a fraud case, and their fraudster had bought something from one of my websites in the past. After I actually talked to the investigators over email, they never actually expected me to travel to New York, they were just looking for dates and IP addresses relating to these sales, which I emailed and my participation in their investigation was over. They didn't actually want me to go to New York, that was just boilerplate.
Lol creating a new account, so obvious.
The thing is that Britain has an independent oil and gas sector though. We're not reliant on imports, so yeah, the blame can be levelled at the Tories for this one.
IANAL, but it came from a court because it's a court order. Failing to respond would be contempt of court - an imprison able offense.

AIUI, the reason that courts order cooperation for this sort of thing is that every party deserves the right in court to defend themselves as best as is possible. If in order to defend themselves they require information that they cannot present themselves but that someone else can (say your alibi was being at work - your boss could confirm that), then it becomes that party's civic duty to cooperate with the courts and make sure that the appropriate information can be yielded to ensure a just decision. If there are concerns about cost or potential secrecy/privacy implications, someone who is subpoenaed can bring that up with the judge who can then work with all parties to appropriately manage the situation.
Clarification: I know there are instructions in the Debian documentation on how to put nonfree firmware on a USB drive and to use that drive with the free installer, but it's so much easier to just use the nonfree installer if you're going to be using nonfree firmware. Why make it hard if you're using the bits anyway?

That said, I'd love to see a lot more people writing about what hardware works with free firmware so we can decide if we want to go in that direction. I am all for that.

It's worth noting that Ben Purgason from LinkedIn, identified Firefighters as stage 1 and beyond throughout his article on the five stages of SRE:

> At this early stage, SRE is essentially fighting fires whenever
the need arises while simultaneously trying to automate the
process of fire suppression. With each piece of reliable automation
written, the time saved on fire suppression is freed up for use on
permanently fixing problems or for forward-looking priorities
such as monitoring and alerting.

https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login/articles/login_win...

My observation has been that problems arise when you have roles that clearly default to firefighting without the larger organizational recognition that this is a signal that the default mode need to evolve or improve continuously. That is, that the stages beyond stage 1 (firefighting) that involve developing the roles, teams, tools, and ops in concert with one another are latent and need to scale with the organization, products, services, and customers.
There are lots of jobs in the UK right now - in fact there is a labor shortage.

What we don't have is large domestic natural resources, or access to the global market guaranteed by force of arms. We used to have that, but we had to give it up due to the Second World War and also morality (admittedly that part came with hindsight and without prerequisite contrition and apologies).
