Nah.

Everywhere I've ever worked, you can tell any boss things they don't want to hear. What you have to do is do it respectfully. I've told directors and VPs multiple levels up from me that I thought they were wrong about something in large meetings. I said it to their face and respectfully, and that was fine. As long as you understand your place and don't publicly trash your boss, there's normally no problem.

The tweet in question here was... not that.
You don't seem to understand the argument. Your car is covered in body panels; those panels could be producing the power to recharge the car. It doesn't matter what the car looks like; any car could work this way.
Geocities and the like had ways to put up a website without much expertise by the late 1990s.

Many ISPs included personal web hosting with their internet access service at the time as well, which usually did require a slightly higher level of knowledge, but not that high. Netscape had a point and click page editor by 1997.
I’m assuming they have some sort of tiered architecture with graceful degradation functionality, he’s heard somewhere that “the system can provide basic service with as little as X important services running”, and has decided to shut down the rest.

I struggled a lot with the depression and irresponsible behaviour that arises when you realize that free will can't be reconciled with physics. It seemed like there was no reason to do anything and no reason not to do anything. The level of nihilism I sunk to led to all sorts of unhappy consequences.

I am still prone to those lines of thought sometimes, but with experience, I can also suggest ways to defuse the nihilism and existential angst so they don't continue to lead to suffering for yourself and people around you.

1. Concepts like "free will" are ill-defined, so there is actually no problem to solve. Stop itching at problems which are complete bullshit. Focus on lived experience, not vague distractions.

2. Even if there is no freedom, you can still experience suffering, and it is possible to learn to avoid paths which lead to suffering. The learning might be deterministic, but that doesn't mean you don't experience the results. Or, just continue to suffer if you're too stubborn to learn. Your ... choice, or whatever you want to call it, when you insist on shooting yourself in the foot even after you learned it hurt.

3. Responsibility is not the same as free choice. Responsibility is a contract where you agree to take on the bad consequences if something bad happens, and in return you gain power over what you are responsible for. One of the paths which leads to suffering is to assume you're not responsible for your actions. There are lots of ways people try to abdicate their personal responsibility. Excuses like "it was drugs" or "I was treated badly" or "my brain is controlled by the laws of physics so I can never really choose anything" or "it was so-and-so's fault." Whether or not these things are true, you are still admitting defeat and allowing disempowerment and suffering into your life whenever you say something was not your responsibility. Hemingway was on the right track when he resolved to always honor promises he made while drunk. To do otherwise is to admit that your actions were out of your control; it invites intrusion and censure by those who see you as weak for not being able to take responsibility. Every time you blame someone or something else for a problem, you grant them power which you could have kept for yourself, if only you had owned the problem.
The Spreadsheet Is Society's Most Powerful Tool
Not only mobiles, but also desktops and laptops. For example, there are lots of unibody MacBooks which are perfectly functional but no longer get updates from Apple.

However, in case of mobiles, things are particularly awful because it is often not trivial to install and maintain an OS other than the one supplied by the manfucturer.

It's incredible how much electronic waste and security issues are generated by lazy manufacturers who do not mainline drivers into the Linux kernel.
You're pretty much dead-on! (There's a lil "how to play" section on the site!)
Consider the possibility that after integrating all the APIs of the off the shelf solutions you might be confronted with bottlenecks or other limitations you were not aware of when you made the decision. Therefore the safer route might be to build it yourself especially if you only need a small subset of the features offered by vendor solutions.
Hi! I wrote the post. Good answers below. Decent generic mountain bikes with disc brakes are found all over South America, being pedaled by casual riders and kids in the town squares. Starting a tour with that equipment and adding racks and such would be affordable, and parts will be replaceable. Surly/Soma/Kona/Salsa/Fuji/Etc. touring bikes come with the main advantage of mounting points. But more DIY riders are rigging things up with hose clamps.
It may sound odd because "biker" colloquially refers to a motorcyclist, but not many people would call a motorcycle a "bike" in day-to-day conversation.

Maybe "driving a bike" will get more popular as electric velocipedes continue to blur those lines.
Have you heard of baserow.io? It's open source airtable
The super fast libraries mention in the article Pixie, Zippy, SuperSnappy all use GC. They can beat or tie with the best C libs. But in order to be fast they don't use GC in the critical hot paths but pre-allocate work buffers to the right size or allocate stack objects instead. Surprisingly, going outside the bounds of the GC does not feel that foreign or wried in Nim. It's not hard.
Clojure is definitely more than an experiment. It processes many millions of dollars daily through things like banks and even at Walmart. It might not be used a lot, but experiment is not accurate at all. You didn't flesh out your comment about Java, they used to also transpile to C# and still to Javascript. I think Java's fast memory allocator is particularly suitable to the immutable data structure memory requirements. I also find the JVM a very robust and mature platform. It's also a great gateway being able to interop into corporate environments as a way to get traction. I am curious what other language you think would be better given those desired traits that Hickey designed for.

What are the conditions, please list all of them in a way that makes it easy for me to find?

What age groups does this affect?

I think I have condition Y so I should go get vaccinated, but I have conflicting information on that from multiple doctors. Should I get vaccinated?

Also, in the US people often take advertised medications to their doctors and ask if they should take it, rather than doctors recommending things to people.

Finally, there are large segments of the population that don't consult doctors for varying reasons.

You wanna try and make that message simpler?

There's a great book called The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Buy by William K. Black, a former regulator during the S&L period.

It is not an easy book for the uninitiated, but well worth it.

It is tragic that the lessons of that period were so quickly forgotten.

I would suggest finding a touring bike from somebody who has maintained it well; there are many reputable forums and sites for these secondhand sales. You’ll get a considerable discount and have a better chance to ensure it has all the features you want.

I would then immediately ensure everything works to your satisfaction, using this post-purchase assessment to not only bring the bike to the state it needs to be but to inform yourself on how your bike is put together, so that you can more easily repair her whilst on your trip.

I myself was able to pick up an incredible secondhand race bike built by a Japanese man who constructed such bikes for both the JP and US Olympic teams. Not only did I only spend a few hundred on it but I also was able to meet the man who built it and learn so much more about bikes and sprinting on them successfully than I had prior to the purchase.

TL;DR: Go secondhand, you’ll get a better bike and you’ll find people in the community who will help you become a better and more knowledgeable biker.
Not the OP but officially sanctioned tools and libraries are exactly what I envy from Laravel: auth, search, payments, hosting, etc.

This is only about accessing stored balances on old accounts rather than having to hand them over to lost property.

There may be a million other reasons, but it’s the same reasons banks have account fees — to harvest the lost balances already on their books.
Implicit cloning of types is evil. The first example with the mutable object is only surprising because the language decided to pass a copied struct by value instead of by reference.
When I say VAERS notoriously undercounts, I’m referring to the literature on the subject. For example, the Harvard report Electronic Support for Public Health - Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (ESP:VAERS) https://digital.ahrq.gov/ahrq-funded-projects/electronic-sup...:

Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common, but underreported.
Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event,
less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events
are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Low
reporting rates preclude or slow the identification of “problem” drugs
and vaccines that endanger public health. New surveillance methods for
drug and vaccine adverse effects are needed. Barriers to reporting
include a lack of clinician awareness, uncertainty about when and what
to report, as well as the burdens of reporting: reporting is not part
of clinicians’ usual workflow, takes time, and is duplicative.

See also ‘The reporting sensitivities of two passive surveillance systems for vaccine adverse events’ https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2105/AJPH.85.12.... Regarding VAERS:

Sensitivities ranged from 72% for poliomyelitis after
the oral poliovirus vaccine to less than 1% for rash
and thrombocytopenia after the MMR vaccine.

Regarding your speculation that deaths associated with the Covid-19 vaccines are probably reported at rates higher than that of other vaccines: I have a hard time believing that the report rate is higher than poliomyelitis after the oral poliovirus vaccine which is itself underreported.

And regarding the protestation that correlation does not imply causation, it’s not on me to prove that the treatment is harmful, and otherwise it’s safe and thus administered—-it’s on you to prove that it confers an all cause mortality benefit. I am aware of no evidence to suggest that such a benefit obtains in children, and suggest that this dearth of evidence explains the failure to approve the vaccines for children in many European countries.

It’s been this way in the USA a long, long time for non-Union jobs (maybe since our founding? I don’t know).

So whether you agree or disagree with employment-at-will, I don’t see how it will be the downfall of the USA given the history.

From the pricing link at https://www.ibm.com/blogs/systems/announcing-ibm-linuxone-ii... :

> Starting at $135,000 USD*, the single-configuration LinuxONE III Express is designed as a new cost-effective offering for the most popular workloads, including data serving and Red Hat® OpenShift®. IBM internal tests show that a 12-core IBM LinuxONE III Express server running WebSphere and Db2 workloads requires 18.7 times fewer cores when compared to x86 servers and delivers a 57% lower TCO over three years.

They go one to explain their benchmark in the footnotes. I don't know how to translate from IBM units to something that an organization with a mortal-sized checkbook would already be using, though.
Touring bikes are weird animals, and are built to a wholly different set of requirements than other bikes.

Classic choices are the Trek 520, the Surly Long Haul Trucker, and the Kona Sutra. REI has consistently impressed me with their offerings as well.

For the most part, frames get built with a carefully selected set of parts that balances reliability, repairability, and availability. Weight is really only a consideration for the wheels, and it's pretty far down the priority list even there.

Over 5000mi/8000km, everything is consumable, except hopefully the frame and associated components. I didn't blow up a hub over 7000 miles of touring, but I replaced chains, the cassette, the chainring that got the most wear, a couple of spokes, a rim, a saddle, and maybe a few other things. Oh, and several tires.

Mom and pop bike shop availability is clutch when you're miles from even a bigger town. A touring bike is not the bike to have the latest group set on, nonstandard spokes, or anything that you can't fix, replace, or make a workable substitution for in the boonies. AIUI, if you're touring internationally, you really want 559mm rims; 622mm is much less common outside of North America and Europe and finding tires can be a big problem.

You'll often find that frames get built up with an absolute hodgepodge of components that only makes sense if you consider all of the above, plus the fact that gearing runs more on the mountain bike end of the spectrum.

Components tend to run a generation or two behind bleeding edge, and manufacturers mix and match freely between road and mountain stuff as appropriate to get what they're looking for for durability and ergonomics. A good touring bike usually has mid-range components. Good enough to stay adjusted, beefy enough to hold up to a lot of miles with less maintenance than might be ideal.

All that to say, I haven't answered your question per-se, but I hope this helps you understand for yourself whether and answer put forward by a salesperson is a good one.

Most bike shops aren't making most of their money selling touring bikes. You run a very real chance of dealing with salespeople who are totally out of their depth when you shop for a touring bike. The ones that are both good and also honest will admit as much.
A family with 2-3 children was the definition of "poster family" in the US up to at least the 60s. Then something started to shift.

Again, the majority of people in the West are better off than the majority of people anywhere else, affording children is a matter of life priorities.
Unlike JavaScript libraries, Nim libraries seem to be a lot more sane and self contained. No left-pad nonsense or downloading 20 dependences.
+1 his videos are great.
Where else in the West can you sway a country the size of Europe by funding maybe 20 influencers across the Legislative and the Executive Branches? President, VP, Speaker of the House, Senate Majority Leader, and maybe some key committee chairs and Cabinet members are really all you need. They are the playmakers. Add to that the amount of influence the US has with Western trading partners and we become a prime target for a lot more "donations" than other Western countries. Didn't Biden and Trump each spend $1B on their 2020 campaigns? Anywhere else spend that kind of money in the West?

TLDR It's a matter of degrees.
The short answer is: sorta. Robert Ghrist has done some work applying topological work to "real-world" problems [0]. I use scare quotes here because while his work is interesting, I'm not sure it allows industry to do anything it couldn't have done before.

There's also quite a large body of (academic) work applying topological methods to robotics. Robots have complex configuration spaces and apparently topological methods can help us understand those spaces.

Programming languages that are “finished”?
Are there any programming languages that are still under development but are not having new features added? I’m looking for something with a decent standard library and good tooling (or something that doesn’t require extensive tooling like scala, which is what I’m used to). A good way to manage dependencies is also a bonus.
You are crazy!
> It's an interesting question but (at least in the US) a culturally very well-settled one.

The fact that people disagree means that it is not.
As someone said in another subthread:

> That's with everything that have any level of complexity, just see how many people got transaction isolation wrong just because they had some simplistic view on how it works in database they use.

Any database without MVCC works quite a bit differently than people think it does. And ones with MVCC run into the ceiling if you assume they work like databases that aren't based on MVCC. Like leaving long transactions running in the background.

The problem is, like caching, difficult to catch in a petri dish.

Maybe you should take a break.

If you assume your database isn't doing much for you, you
from the same article:

> By Friday morning, Lilly stock had dropped by more than 5% from the day before. The Twitter stunt pulled down the stock price of other diabetes drugmakers, including Novo Nordisk and Sanofi. Lilly’s stock has yet to recover and, on Monday morning, remained down more than 4% over the past five days.

the funniest part is when you actually follow that stock, you know why it's down, but then you read someone's twitter and they think the stock's down due some campaign or tweet :)
downvotes I see. Doesn't surprise me at all, y'all are a greedy bunch.

This feels like doubling down on something that's not super effective.

The way to make traffic slower, is to make road lanes narrower. You can also add curves/trees or overhangs to add shadows to the road, which breaks up the roadway and makes it harder to reason about from a distance.
I agree. Did RSS feeds suffer spam? I don't think so, and the reason was because you have to actually follow someone to receive things from them (whereas with email you get to receive everything anyone sends you so long as they have your address)
Both Tesla and SpaceX could put every dollar of their marketing budget into Twitter ads and that still wouldn't get it out of the $2B+/year hole it is in.
So from PayPal's perspective you signed up for an account willingly, used it happily for ten years, tripped some fraud detection or other where PayPal now thinks the account may have been compromised and locked it, asked for proof of ID to restore access, and you refused, and asked them to close the account.

What else do you want them to do? There's a bagillion compromised PayPal accounts actively scamming people. It's why PayPal G&S is the gold standard for buying stuff from people online. Like I get that closing the account seems like a safe action but letting someone who isn't the account owner do anything with the account is bad move.
You can't get herd immunity from a vaccine that does not stop the spread of the disease, even with 100% coverage. Covid starts spreading early in the infection, before your vaccine-stimulated antibodies get into the action. For that kind of contagion, vaccines cannot stop the spread.

For other diseases that become contagious later in the infection, vaccines can, and at the outset it seemed like Covid might behave that way, but it turned out not to.

What the current vaccines can do, is lessen the possibility of serious outcomes, which is great.
Paypal really is a sad example of a company.

I wrote above that I don't understand _not_ customizing the resume, but I understand why it would seem not sustainable for a high volume job search.... can't say I wouldn't force myself to do it though as I think not doing it increases the chance of having to apply to more jobs.

> Another perspective is to consider training junior engineers to be a core job responsibility of senior engineers.

This is, I believe, a major reason why software sucks. Just as a person becomes somewhat competent at writing software, they're told to stop the very job they're finally good at, and focus on helping juniors become... teachers for the next batch of juniors. Unless you have a point in the process at which seniors stop teaching and go back to writing code, your software ends up being written entirely by juniors, putting a cap on the quality and delivery speed of your product.

> Most engineers who complain about teaching and mentoring shouldn't be promoted to senior level in the first place; in the long run they would probably be happier and more successful as independent consultants.

Most engineers who complain about this would be even more happy and more successful as "independent consultants" with an employment contracts and a monthly salary. I.e. those engineers are just asking to be allowed to continue to do the work they're finally proficient in, under conditions they worked so far (i.e. employment contract). Instead, they're being offered a choice of pivoting to unrelated activities they're likely not good at - either teaching or managing financial risk.
Up until recently I had a flip phone and often left it at home. Nobody ever sneered at me for a lack of a phone. I've never been anywhere that required one. Why are people allowing anything like you describe to exist?
