Where is around you? I can try to offer some suggestions of places that offer hand tool classes or instructors who travel to look for.

If it's nowhere I know of anything, I can at least start out by offering that Mary May does an online woodcarving school of video lessons.

Edited to add:

You appear to be Bay Area (unless you misspelled Berklee, then I can help you). That's an area I know little about the woodworking scene in. You might see if the Krenov School's summer offerings suit your needs. They're in Fort Bragg. The American School of French Marquetry is in San Diego, and is quite specialized.
Read up on Progressive history and, yes, it's very clear that the early 20th century Progressive movement loved the concept of a corporation.

While most aren't self-conscious enough to realize it now, they still love corporations as evidenced by how they zealously defend them when they serve progressive ambitions and power.

The California grid issues were due to momentarily high demands on the grid, not an issue with creating capacity in general. The grid is not infinitely flexible.

Coal plants, mind you, aren’t a good solution to the issue of active spikes demand, they take significant time to ramp up and down and have minimum loads they have to put out, it’s prohibitively expensive to turn them of and on.

EVs can, and likely will play a key role in demand management, that’s a good thing.
DSLs and general purpose languages are not comparable. DSLs are generally designed to handle data, while general purpose languages can handle everything. Where DSLs fall apart is when you either need to (a) work with I/O in a different format than the DSL handles data in (including working with hardware) or (b) the scope of data changes into something that now incorporates information outside the DSL’s domain.

For (a), a simple example is an application that reads information from a DAQ, stores it in a database in a compressed format, and later sends the data to a printer. We have a DSL that can easily implement the database, but we need to translate the data from the DAQ into a compatible input, so that requires a different language. Furthermore, the printer requires postscript, so we need some other language or tool for that. Then we need to figure out how to glue it all together. In some cases, it becomes tempting to try to ‘hack’ the DSL into trying to do things it was never designed for.

Or we could just use a general purpose language and libraries.
And if they tax it, people will complain about cost-shifting, saying the consumer should pay

The consumer should pay, because that will reduce demand.

It’s funny to see a government encourage a carbon tax to reduce fossil fuel use (high gas prices drive consumers to look for alternatives), then turn around this year and either cut gas tax or send out checks to consumers to offset higher gas prices.

Not sure any politician has the Will to follow through with it.

well, chalk it up to a site that as soon as I go there pops up a giant, screen-covering banner for me to learn about how trans people are horrible (only a few days after a massacre of trans people in Colorado, very tasteless) and deceptively calls itself "Independent Women's Forum" while being an obviously conservative / libertarian site that per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33709488 was founded as a group to defend Clarence Thomas of all people, who not only was indeed a sexual harasser but also just voted to strip the right to abortion for women across the US.

Have you considered you might not know as much about how the law actually works as the lawyer does? Definitions of terms might come from lots of places other than the contract in question (laws, regulations, court precedent, etc.).
On Windows, you can call "EnumProcessModules" to get all the DLLs loaded in the current process – and check those are what you expect.

It is potentially a bit fragile though - DLLs can load other DLLs, and it has happened before that in a new Windows version, Microsoft suddenly adds new implementation DLLs which get pulled in by the main system DLLs.

One approach might be to look at code-signing on all the DLLs, and ignore any unknown DLLs signed by Microsoft.

Would probably make sense to open a scary red warning at startup, telling users that their browser contains untrusted third party code, and stability/security cannot be guaranteed. Probably need to make sure there is no easy way to disable it, or else some IT will just disable it as part of installing DLL-injecting "security" software.

There are ways of doing hidden code injection, without the DLL coming up in the loaded DLLs list – https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/2262/... – one option is for the loaded DLL to duplicate itself in memory, jump to the duplicate, then unload the original. Or, you can use VirtualAlloc2/WriteProcessMemory to load code into another process, and CreateRemoteThread to launch it.

I thought these "security" software vendors wouldn't be doing anything so fancy: but from the Chrome bug [0] it looks like some are:

> And I was able to confirm (in some of the dumps, we don't collect the right heap information in all dumps) that Trend Micro code (one region is a DLL that seems to be called ApiHookStub.x64.dll, another is not a direct DLL copy) which has been allocated on our process heap without going through the loader, presumably via something like ::VirtualProtectEx and ::WriteProcessMemory. This is a pattern I see used broadly in Edge crashes we root cause to third-party software.

However, that still can be detected – use VirtualQueryEx to iterate through process address space and find all executable memory regions – any not owned by a loaded DLL (or generated by JavaScript JIT/etc) are evidence of code injection, even if you don't know who the injector is.

Before I had much of a network, and I was going through recruiters to find jobs, I would give them feedback on the interviews they sent me out on. A lot of times, they only had a vague idea of what they were filling, and this would help them out in narrowing their search.

I know this could have been prepping my own competition. I know that there are lots of opportunities going through each recruiter, and I want them thinking of me. It seemed to work well.

Sometimes you just have to train them, and I was training them to be a better recruiter in general, but also for me.

If you have ten different commits all touching the same part(s) of the same file(s), dial down your granularity a little: you've over-committed.

Either that, or you lobbed 10 different issues into the same branch, which is a whole different barrel of "no one benefits from this, you're just making it harder to generate a changelog, can you please not" fish.

You might be a candidate for Disability.

Assuming US your best shot might be collecting SSI and supplementing with periodic contract work. Mind your billable hours though so you don't disqualify yourself. Work on open-source stuff the rest of your time to stay in the game.

If that is not tenable, consider changing careers to something more dopamine-driven-- firefighter, paramedic, etc. Social skills are beneficial but not required. Educational background is negotiable.

Blaming the EPA for an incident that happened at a horribly toxic mine is like blaming your doctor for your gall bladder exploding while it was being removed for being infectious.

The EPA is in charge of these horrible mines because the previous owners abandoned them to destroy the environment after the profitable stuff was pulled out of the ground.

> Note I said "vertically landing reuseable rockets".

Ok. So where are they? SpaceX obviously didn't copy a working system, as it took many failures for SpaceX's reusable rockets to work.

> Are you claiming SpaceX doesn't use COPV's, or that don't benefit from prior COPV research?

I was very clear on what SpaceX's success was. Has NASA ever re-used a booster?

> Can you elaborate on what you think SpaceX's key advantages are?

I was very clear on that, too. They provide a cheap way into space, something that NASA has utterly failed on (and every other government, too).

Even discounting external changes, any reasonably complex system needs maintenance because time moves on and new interactions happen.

How many SSL certificates (internal or external) need re-issuing per month? Some of that can be automated, but in an organization as large as complex as Twitter some will be bespoke and manual, and a code freeze won't stop the clock.

How many new CVEs per month apply to Twitter's services and tooling? How many race conditions or other bugs are lurking, just waiting for the right time or traffic pattern to emerge? Twitter can't freeze inbound traffic without dire consequences.

Twitter is like your car, except that it's always running.
> I'm sorry, but I don't think you understand the purpose that "Optional" was intended to serve.

Lol, your response is the equivalent of the old SNL "IT guy" skits: "Silly programmer peasant, you don't even know what a monad is!"

Regardless of what you may think Optional was intended to serve, I have seen its use across large and varied code bases, and it simply does not make the cognitive burden easier for developers.

Again, look at the example given by the GP comment. Of course Optional isn't intended to be used that way. But the fact is, as the compiler doesn't prohibit it, it WILL get used that way, and it doesn't provide strong guarantees about the state of the variable.
Code can be injected anywhere. You'd have to add checks to every single function.
I too gave up on this game, even though I really wanted to like it. I like the idea of it.

In my limited experience in gaming, we were reminded to periodically ask about game mechanics: "But does this make the game more fun?"

Simulating realism is cool, but reality is full of boring or unpleasant stuff. Why suffer that extra? "Oh no, it seems you cut your finger while making dinner. Now you have an infection! And since you didn't eat dinner, you are now faint and must lie down. You need a doctor! Oh no, you _were_ the doctor!"
Telling woodworker they should use CNC is like telling retro computer enthusiast to buy PS5.
This approach is definitely possible with a good web-based git IDE. We use gitlab's webIDE and have taught a few very non-technical (even temporary) employees how to do simple commits of markdown files (the trick here is high visibility into their commits -slack messages- and safeguards to make sure important things don't go live via CI too soon). There's a number of rough edges to sort out but this is vastly simpler, faster, more flexible etc for many situations (and amazing to not be using jira or wordpress :) )

I can’t say conclusively, but anecdotally, I do extremely well on a much lower dose of a stimulant than I was originally prescribed. I would try with the _absolute_ smallest amount of the extended release variant of your medication that is prescribed.

I was originally prescribed something like 30mg daily when I was in university and it made me super anxious to the point of dumping all of my medication. Years later, I gave it another shot with the understanding that it would be a tool and not a solution, and I would take the absolute minimum amount necessary and no more. It worked significantly better.

It’s unfortunate that so few doctors are willing to prescribe medication for people with properly diagnosed ADHD. I also can’t help but think that regardless of the condition, if your doctor is only willing to try one type and dose of medication to treat a condition, that sounds like a shitty doctor. This isn’t diabetes—there’s not a measurable target that’s needed to be hit for optimum performance.

ADHD conditions and symptoms are a spectrum and different people respond to different medications and doses differently. Every trial of medication should be exactly that—a trial, until something works.

You don’t go to an optometrist and have them say “you’ve got astigmatism, here’s your glasses” in a one size fits all scenario, you go through the different lenses until you reach the best one _for your situation at the time_.

> They absolutely care if one day Atlassian decides to hike prices to levels they deem unreasonable and now their entire documentation is locked in a proprietary format or if Atlassian go under, are purchased by a competitor etc.

Clearly they don't. You already said that you tried to pitch your solution, and you weren't able to prove its value. Atlassian is seen as reliable, and those fears are just not worth the hassle of managing your own infrastructure.

I would guess that adding fuzzy match to the candidate selection layer would result in better results after ranking with the default “Featured” ranker.

We played a live-action version of Diplomacy in my high school mock UN club.

Each person was part of a team and had a role. I was the Chancellor of Germany.

If an assassin from another team was able to get alone with me, without any of my countrymen, and show me a card saying she was an assassin, the Chancellor of Germany would be killed during the weekly meeting and, not having a Chancellor, not get to make any moves on the board for that week's turn. They would instead be distracted by determining the new Chancellor. If the assassin had been caught, her country's treachery would be revealed, cementing any of their opponents in alliance.

It was an awfully fun thing to be doing on the side, between classes and during free periods, but it'd be wildly impractical in an environment with less proximity!

Our mock UN group was weirder than I realized at the time. Our faculty advisor requires that we each speak in one of the 6 languages of the UN likely to be spoken by whatever country we were representing, and he'd simultranslate into English. Somehow it didn't occur to me at the time to ask why a suburban physics teacher was fluent in those six languages.
> But nobody wants to concede anything. So the war will continue, undoubtedly with plentiful more opportunities to find ourselves in WW3.

Giving in to the nuclear and other blackmail that Russia uses will never get lasting peace.

All it will do is get Russia to invade again in the future. You only need to see, Moldova, Georgia, Crimea, and Donbas to see this.

The only real peace for this war is a peace where Russia retreats entirely from Ukraine, militarily defeated and it becomes clear to Russia that any future invasion will be met with an even stronger force.

Otherwise the little green men will keep appearing and the Russians will keep invading countries.

"Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so."

FWIW, zsh can do that stuff (and more!); e.g. set RPROMPT for a "right prompt". It also handles files with spaces just fine:

$ touch a "b c" d
$ for i in *; { echo "<$i>" }
<a>
<b c>
<d>

Once I added 'zsh-syntax-highlighting' and 'zsh-autosuggestions' I didn't see a reason to deal with all the eccentricities of a non-standard shell like fish.

(If anybody is looking for a terrific "turn-key" zsh config that is fast, check out https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/tree/v4 ... there are instructions for trying it out in Docker so it won't mess with your existing shell config.)
> But a different question is, why is no company trying to do this differently?

I once worked at a company - in a different domain - that made a conscious decision to make this kind of hire. It worked incredibly well, and I never understood why more companies didn't do it.

The context in my case was the Australian offices of a management consulting firm (BCG). The Melbourne and Sydney offices hired what were called "editors", brought on at the same grade as the consultants. Not editing as in correcting grammar. But helping the consultants improve the logic of the arguments in their slide decks: so they were logically consistent, easy to understand, and actually addressed the clients' issues. I was a junior consultant back then, and we were constantly pushed by our managers "have you seen Yvonne?" [the Melbourne editor] when preparing for major presentations.
None of that is necessary. They just need one thing: Eye Tracking, for one feature: Eye Contact.

With that, they can be to the early 21st century office what Microsoft was to the late 20th century office.

The problem is Facebook is a consumer company, and VR will be an office tech (at first) and I’m not sure Facebook has the culture to do what Microsoft did. They need to adapt fast.

But technologically, they’re already there. The Meta Quest pro has everything it needs to be what Dell was to business in the 90s and 2000s. At this point Software and Sales is the game they stand to lose.

If I were Slack I would be gunning for the same prize. But I haven’t heard anything about VR at Slack, so it seems like they’re going to lose.
Depend on proprietary standards--win stupid prizes.

Same old, same old.
I take issue with you trying to downplay these issues in a way that reads a lot like victim blaming.

Surveillance capitalism literally exploits human dopamine responses to make almost everyone spend more hours of their lives scrolling on these platforms than they want to or would be if there was no profit motive. It -is- an addictive drug system.

We have endless examples of adtech fueling the need to create ever more addictive platforms that we have tremendous evidence are a major component in the compromised mental health of millions, promoting anti-covid conspiracies, automatically putting malleable personalities into hate group filter bubbles, swaying elections, increasing suicide rates, etc etc. Also it even helps nicotine companies connect with new customers.

Smoking rates have been dropping and not everyone smokes anymore. Surveillance capitalism products however currently addict -billions- of people. These companies literally sell behavior changes as a service to the highest bidder causing harm to nearly every sector of our society.

You are right that surveillance capitalism is not the same Big Tobacco. It is so much worse. It empowers big tobacco, big pharma, scams, casinos, hate groups, climate change denialism, and election manipulators to be maximally successful.

I frankly do not know how anyone that works for companies like Facebook, Tiktok, Twitter, or Google live with themselves.

yes, that is the premise, but the article specifically does not present any evidence of that being the case, just a bunch of weasel words.

"...aerial laser maps reported by Estrada-Belli and colleagues have revealed large, interconnected Maya cities now obscured by forests in other parts of northern Guatemala (SN: 9/27/18). The next step, Estrada-Belli says, is to assemble an aerial laser map of at least 100 square kilometers around Tamarindito to see if it was built in relative isolation."

if they don't even know whether it was built in isolation, how could they possibly be in a position to make these kind of conclusions about how it came about?

hence, "theory."
