I've always been told that short tenure is "red flag" and I think it's bullshit.

I've accelerated my net worth by a rate of return of 12% compounded over the last 20 years of professional life. My resume has 10 separate entries in it which means I last on average two years.

Why do I expire after two years? Because no one in my industry gets promoted from within. No one in my industry is ever given more than a cost of living wage increase, and certainly not a 12% year over year average increase. It takes two years of watching people get hired over you with no raise to decide that you deserve more money and you go out and find it.

I believe in judging my value in monetary terms and as I increase my experience, knowledge, and value, I expect that amount to increase as well.
To offer another opinion, I'd prefer the video, since it's more familiar to me. And I can try going through a story myself later, anyway.

ok a ban for kids minus auto immune kids and kids from americans expats (minus prifzer execs kids)

make sense. and you know why they did that? because unlike us they value children lives more than old people because they are the future of society. in other countries we sacrify our youngs so the old can be safe and live off their wealth.
confinements, vaccines that have higher risk than covid (for,kids and that is why danemark banned it for the average kid)

dont worry youll join danemark decision in ten years when lawsuits will be everywhere in the u.s

In fact much as with “obvious” scams, this becomes a feature: non-marks deselect themselves from the pool at no cost to the scammer, which means the scammer has a much higher average “prospect quality” than a random sampling would give.

Well, it's only logical: what they propose is barely legal and sooner or later, more sooner than later, the scheme will be burnt, so it's better to teach others to make a quick buck than staying in the same place for too long.

The rules for use of ECT are much more strict than they were in the past, so when this happened would be extremely important.

ECT as used well into the 80s, possibly even the 90s, was pretty much aversion therapy - essentially just: "you'll behave properly or we'll torture you".

In CA at least the rules for use of ECT nowadays are extremely strict, and required frequent confirmation of understanding of what you think you are doing, what is involved, why you are doing it, etc administered by a party not involved in the treatment.

> I was thinking that was just so obsolete.

Why? The studies for ECT for treatment resistant depression show that it _is_ effective for more than 50% of candidates who undergo it. Note that these are treatment resistant cases, e.g. people for which there is by definition a 100% failure rate for every other option.

> Indeed, longevity of effect, or specific studies

For some people ECT appears to provide a permanent relief. Some it provides significant improvement for extended (e.g. years) periods, and for some it does not do anything.

I can't point to specific studies because at this point there are so many, and that they all have very similar outcomes of more than 50% of recipients having extended or permanent (presumably within bounds of time) improvement in symptoms.

> and who paid for them.

Generally it's government funded institutions, but I get the general "evil business" conspiracy vibe from this comment. It's important to realize that ketamine and ECT aren't things that you can make profitable. If they work for a given patient they both have extended periods where the patient is not likely to need any treatment, if ever again - the general worst case for a profit driven treatment.

Your ability to have a high profit margin is limited by ketamine being a generic drug in the US, and being cheap and easy (in terms of drugs) to manufacture. ECT on the other hand has a large array of costs that can't be avoided, but that also aren't profit centers: you need hospital facilities due to the general anesthesia, an anesthesiologist, the actual doctor, nurses, and a third party to audit and interview patients.

I celebrate. I've accomplished my goal.

Habits have context. I do gardening and I have a habit of checking my garden beds for weeds and diseases every day. I don't do it in winter when it's freezing and nothing is growing. I'll pick it up again in spring.

You don't have to game the system you've created. The habits are for you, not the other way around.
Yes but the pressure is weaker than one might intuitively guess. There are billions of bugs. Even near roads, very few of them are going to be hit by cars, comparatively. Near roads there often are ditches with some water or moisture, making an environment otherwise beneficial for bugs.

Also, decreased road side windshield bug smashing coincides with measured loss of insect biomass:

This sounds like “let’s design something nobody ever will use”. Compare how often you (or anyone) created, edited, deleted or backed up a ~/.dotfile vs some file who-tf-knows-where in AppData or Library mazes. These have near zero discoverability and expect-ability.

There are better alternatives

Let’s define “better” first.
WCAG defines different contrast rules for different font sizes. Thus "colors are colors" is not strictly true when it comes to evaluating contrast.

On an old CRT, this elements were probably huge (measured in centimeters) compared to how I look at them on my 4k screen now. And that matters when talking about contrast.

Few tips to improve C# performance:

- enable source generation for JSON serialization

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/serializat...

- use `TryGetValue` to do single dictionary lookup instead of two.

if (TripsIxByRoute.TryGetValue(route, out var tripIxs))

- specify List's capacity, if it's known when creating it, to avoid resizing operations while adding elements to the List

var schedules = new List<StopTimeResponse>(stopTimeIxs.Count);
> It seems disingenuous to me to call MacOS a walled garden.

"Disingeneous" is polite, I'd say its BS because you can tell someone is an Apple basher when they start banging on about "walled garden".

MacOS at its heart is BSD.

If you download Xcode from the App store, then that installs a bunch of CLI tools as well, including make.

And thus, having installed make you can ....

Yes, that's right, compile your own software. Or just use brew if you don't fancy compiling stuff.

You are of course, also welcome to download Go, Rust or anything else and compile stuff in those languages too.

Then, whilst you're at it, you can download VMware Fusion or Parallels and run Linux or Windows or any other OS of your choice.

Walled Garden ... yeah right !
Thanks! I believe you can get a very long way with only multiple-choice buttons. An excellent example of this is Brilliant.org. But I'll soon release an "iframe" feature that lets you make your own custom interactions. The iframe is seamless, and can tell TigYog when the user has completed the block, and with which answer.

You own all your content on TigYog. There's no export feature (although you can see the raw content of a page if you replace "/edit" with "/debug"), but it's on my list, and I'd help you export your stuff if you wanted to move the course.

I'd actually never come across Idyll! I'll play around with it and see what inspiration I can take :)
I'm just hoping Neovim eventually reaches feature parity because the community feels so much more inviting.

Not sure what feature parity would look like… Neovim has had a built-in LSP client for quite a while.

I do agree that the community around Neovim feels super inviting.
Yeah, not sure what the new concern here is. "Nation-states" always have had the ability to manufacture truth out of nothing, they've been doing this since before there were any computers. Why would they need the help of GPT-3? Why would they want to spam incoherent hallucinations? What would they gain out of that when they already have the ability to "manufacture consent" at scale?

It's not even a democratisation of bullshit, non-state actors also don't need GPT-3 to spam nonsense. PR and advertising is all about that and has a history of hundreds if not thousands of years. Maybe the new thing here is that people now realise lying is easy.
I develop software for a living, and I do a very different kind of software dev for myself, as a hobby, in my free time. Its a creative outlet of sorts. On my personal github, I have lots of activity, and its disjunct from my job stuff.

Its not really a great idea, in my opinion, to say "you have a hobby, so you probably dont have a job".

Maybe that's what people say. Their actions show other preferences though - most people choose to mindlessly either channel-surf their TV or scroll their phones in free time. Unfortunately, human brain is inherently lazy and will usually go for the easiest option, especially when one is tired (e.g. in the evening after work).

As far as I know, they were an Adobe invention. Might not seem like it now, but Adobe did at one time have a pretty massive and respectable graphics R&D team who invented so many things that we take as standard now. The formulas were reverse-engineered elsewhere, but not perfectly (Macromedia Fireworks and GIMP's blend modes did not behave the same way). As far as I know, the exact formulas were first documented in the PDF Specification v1.4 by Adobe: https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandard... . At the time, this was an ISO specification and not freely available. Also, the formulas for Color Burn and Color Dodge in this specification have some bugs which don't match Adobe products. These formulas have since been copied into the SVG standard (which Adobe co-authored), and the CSS blend mode standard (which Adobe co-authored), where the bugs are now fixed.

Porter-Duff compositing was more of a general theory for compositing A on top of B with a mask C, and the operators defined in their paper were the 3-way truth table of those bits. It only defines coverage, not the underlying color.

Beat me to it, I was also wondering if the OP proposal hasn't been completely obsoleted by SVCB/HTTPS at this point.

Still reveals a sad picture of the ecosystem that a standard which addressed the same shortcomings existed since 2009 but was completely ignored until Cloudflare reinvented it in a proprietary fashion.

On the other hand, expecting that end users suddenly start typing "https+srv://" everywhere for exactly no added benefit except to make standards wonks happy, doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in the standard's authors either...
I used cloudflare to host a custom domain, and then use their ROBUST email routing service to, plus a send as record to essentially make my personal Gmail use an email address hosted with cloudflare. Then, I set proton mail as a recovery and use it for NOTHING but that. As close as you can get to total security with gmail as far as I am aware. If google ever shuts down my account, I just move to protonmail or MS365 and have all my stuff already linked to my domain.
Yeah, I love how it's called "slow roads", and the car is just zipping at insane speeds.

I bought my first motorcycle in 2004 and my 2nd in 2007. I rode 45k km with the first one over these 3 years (mostly on my island) and 80k km with the 2nd one between 2007-2015. I can confirm that the amount of bugs crashing on my helmet's visor is definitely less. I used to clean it after riding for an hour but now I can do 4-5-6h and still have no real need to clean it.
This sounds like you've been at minority-shareholder-operated companies (as opposed to owner or majority-shareholder operated). They are managerialized and the reason job-hoppers are negative is that it is a bureaucratic organization with multiple competing power centers. Things get done based on favors and insider relationships, as opposed to a clear authority. Since it takes a while to build up a "balance" of favors to call upon, it takes a long time to be productive.

That's the real reason. #1 is a direct consequence of this structure, #2 is a side consequence. There's no good reason you couldn't hire senior people from outside - the only reason to favor promoting from within so heavily is that they have decrypted the power factions while they were "cheaper" junior employees. #3 just sounds like an exception situation - if you were actually tasked to "staff up a full team" - you would no longer consider job-hoppers, for all the previous reasons.
They are collectivist in the sense that they pay very high taxes without trying to weasel themselves out of them. But yeah, they pay them so that they can actually live an individualistic life :)

Also, some communities, like online games, provide serious amounts of social interaction set around reaching a common goal to willing peers.

Also, idempotency of a tool is a desired property that tool devs often invest a lot of effort in maintaining. Initializing default config on the first run is a trivial way to break it.

It's much better to just have a sane implicit default value for each setting when config is not present. Then you can list the default config in your docs or offer a CLI flag --print-default-config or --copy-default-config.

“Reference design” is a term of art in electrical engineering, not aspirational product marketing. Reverse engineering 10-20 layer mixed signal PCBs with buried microvias is nontrivial and is the exact opposite of what reference designs are supposed to be.
Colours on a properly calibrated CRT are indeed the same as on a calibrated LCD. However, most screens in the world are far from calibrated.

CRTs definitely had worse sharpness, but their colour contrast in areas where light and dark were next to each other was better then even some monitors sold today. I think the blur of the CRT screen is essential for the pixel-perfect look of 90s GUIs as they were designed with the colour stretching in mind.

My computer screens have about four or five dimming zones between them at best and this becomes painfully obvious when trying to watch high-contrast imagery. Single-pixel lines also need to align perfectly with the pixels on my screen or require some kind of blurry processing or you'll get weird artifacts (as others mention, this CSS adds a green tint to some LCD displays). When my screen renders mostly black it's black enough, but when it needs to render black lines over a grey background, the result just doesn't work like it would've on a CRT screen, which has an entirely different image buildup.

Sure, I know that HDR screens with 600 nits exist and I know that they're better than any CRT ever produced has ever been, but for most people, those fancy expensive screens are simply out of reach for the majority of people because of their price. The mediocre mid-range screens are what most people actually rely on for their business and that's the painful truth when designing anything. We can compensate for that in our designed by using the higher pixel densities of modern monitors and adding all kinds of effects, but in my experience, this simply wasn't necessary for CRTs exactly because of their flaws.

CRTs have also been obviously superior for quite a lot longer than people seem to remember. The first generations of LCD screens were simply awful to look at. They were unresponsive, bland, had terrible contrast, the colour representations were all over the place because of needing analog to digital conversion, the UIs of the time were all designed with the blurry CRT effect in mind, the viewing angles were atrocious, it was all quite bad unless you went for the top of the market. I'm sure the more modern flat design and newness of these devices made people buy them before they were any good, but back in those days a high-res CRT would've been a far superior option for anyone not constrained by physical space.

I've recently turned on an old flat screen I found lying around at my parents' place that I thought back in the day was a good screen back then. Looking at it with modern eyes, it's absolutely terrible, actually worse than the 90s CRTs I've used.
> Their actions show other preferences though - most people choose to mindlessly either channel-surf their TV or scroll their phones in free time.

We're talking about third spaces. People will definitely sit alone in their first space quite happily. They will not sit alone at the bowling alley or at church, however. These communities require a sufficient population of members to be compelling.

> I don't see community spaces ever coming back to become a thing again.

Or perhaps the once-a-year events I spoke of earlier are simply the evolution of third spaces? The people absolutely come out to them, and there are many throughout the year so an individual is never short of a community event to involve themselves in. In that sense the community spaces have never gone away. You no longer find the specificity like "I'm in a bowling club. That's what I do." it is more like "I am going to the bowing event this week, the church event next week, the ladies auxiliary the next night..."

> the transition from independent consulting to long term employment is just as questionable as the one from job-hopping to long term employment

This is very easy to explain. Contracting is inherently a less stable way to make a living, and many contractors return to normal employment when they decide that they want the extra stability back. Perhaps they just want to reduce the stress, or maybe their home-life changed for some reason…

> You can't be anti-immigration and call yourself an individualist, it's a nationalist (and therefore collectivist) position.

I don't neccessarily disagree with the rest of your post, but the above seems obviously false. Most anti-immigratio people are not for it because of some abstract ideas, but because they see immigrant as direct competitiors for their jobs. That was one of the biggest reasons behing Brexit votes for example.

There are probably more than a few people at the Department of Defence that get very exited about the prospect of having access to a death ray that could fry anyone we happen to have the coordinates for.

Getting funding out of the military budget could speed this up immensely. So you went into green-tec to improve the world? Sigh.
That was "Insulin Shock Therapy" which had no actual solid support - certainly nothing that would withstand modern scrutiny - and frequently included "improvement" in schizophrenic patients that were clearly docility caused by direct neurological damage.

You also don't just get "hooked up to an ect machine" - it's well established that ECT as used historically was almost entirely aversion therapy - modern ECT does not ever occur on a conscious patient, and because of how it was used historically there are extremely strict controls on patient consent and patient awareness of what they are consenting to - all questionnaires, surveys, consents, etc are taken by a third party that is not part of the treatment.
