>Meaning you could absolutely suck at your job or be incredible at it and you’d get nearly the same regards in either case.

One of the things I don't like about statements like this said in a Data Science context, is that they are true outside of Data Science as well. Executives make big decisions, managers make smaller decisions, nobody can evaluate how good/bad they really were for months or years. Engineers build something amazing, or build a house of cards, nobody cares as long as the money people are happy, even if the business use case turns out to be wrong in the long run.

>With a short-term focus they also won't really care, because they can still put these results in marketing materials and impress most outsiders as well.

Forget Data Science, you see this in KPIs as well. Say a crappy metric has to be moved by Q2 next year and people will destroy the company to move it.

I feel like Data Science is just one of those areas where you are exposed to a wider range of people and get to feel the full crapola of the insanity of working in a corporation. For lots of roles (e.g. Engineering) you get to hide in a hole behind layers of people and not see some of this insanity.
"JSON Sucks".

It really doesn't though.
Ridge: An uncluttered, small form factor case
San Francisco is weird. My wife and I enjoyed our visit last month where we sat at an outdoor cafe and watched people stealing bikes and furniture (yes, seriously).

I am going to be less entertained by watching murder robots wandering the streets, so perhaps I will eat elsewhere next time.
I just meant that a dive computer would not recommend I do the things Anton had me do, which was descend to deep water (30 meters) and stay for a significant period of time (five minutes) and then ascend quickly. We wouldn't have been able to see all the caves and stalactites he wanted to show me if a nanny-state dive computer had been there, because that route would not have been safe.
> I always find it interesting how when these things get revealed, nobody seems to update their priors on "conspiracy theories" going forward. A couple weeks after these stories break it's back to making fun of "tinfoil hat" people and acting like it's all a big joke. I wonder if it's some kind of deep seated coping mechanism to refuse to update beliefs on stuff like that

Me too, but despite having thousands of threads containing millions of comments on this topic over the years, we seem to never make any forward progress on these things. Maybe this approach is not optimal, perhaps not even remotely?

Something very common I've noticed in threads like this: notice how many people make what appear to be factual statements (they are stated in the form of facts), for which there is quite literally no way to acquire the knowledge in the first place. And also consider: these conversations are taking place on Hacker News, and presumably, the intelligence level (actual knowledge, capacity to execute logic with skill, etc) here is much higher than one would find in more normal communities.

As a though experiment: what if a way could be found to coerce the people in a community to behave differently than is being done in here? So, rather than each person imaging what is true (and then proceeding to believe that what they have imagined is actually true), what if people instead wondered what was actually true. This is much closer to how things work in science/engineering/software, and those domains tend to very reliably produce good results, and if this approach works there perhaps it could also work in this area as well.

Do you think this "way out there" theory may produce better results? (And if you have any recommendations for even greater improvements, I am all ears.)
The x32 ABI is another opportunity for optimization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI

x32 binaries are different from x86 programs in that they get access to 64-bit x86 registers, while their pointers are 32-bit.

It would be really cool if some Linux distro provided both x64 and x32 packages for programs not expected to rarely if ever use more than 4 GiB.

Similarly, it would be cool if Chrome and Firefox spawned x32 processes for most web pages, and then only spun up a x64 process when a web page exceeded like 2 GiB of memory usage (and transparently & quickly converted the page over onto the new process).
To be fair, the slow compilation time is annoying even compared to other compiled languages, particularly Go and Nim, which are similarly "high level".

I also found that the Crystal LSP server was painfully slow, and there seems to be a lack of robust developer tooling in general. Has that improved in the last year or so?
The last version of windows that made thumbs.db was XP.

And what metadata do you mean? Permissions and alternate streams get purged, don't they? What else is there? You have to go out of your way to get a desktop.ini and those are just as obtrusive on NTFS.

Long file names are stored in a weird way but that's very standardized and doesn't make extra files.
They meant licking an eStamp, duh
You're confused. L2 is not DC fast charging, it's just 240V AC charging.

Most home chargers will likely be 240V at ~24 Amps, that's about 6 kW and plenty for the vast majority of users. People who regularly need more can easily install more.

DC Fast Charging, (L3) is done at 400-800V and really only needed for road trips so few places outside of highways will likely have it
I'm actively in a job search so here are some things that I want and problems I've seen on your site. I don't know if this is a serious project for you or not so please take this at whatever level of seriousness you like. I don't mean to demand anything from you. Thanks for making this.

With your infinite scroll I have no way to bookmark where I am in the search.

I don't know how the jobs are sorted and have no way to control the sort.

(The previous two items together are a dealbreaker for me for relying on your site.)

I don't know when the jobs were posted, but I understand you may not have this information if you're scraping sites.

I want a way to group by organization. I mainly care about who is hiring, then I go to their job board and look for the position that's the closest fit to what I want.

Your site only lists the upper bound for the salary range. I found one position where you say "$200k/year" but the position itself says $80k-$200k, which is a big difference.

I want to know which ATS the organization uses, Greenhouse or Lever or whatever.

I want a direct link to both the organization's homepage and organization's LinkedIn profile.
It's standard for western countries to add iron and other nutrients to white flour. It's referred to as "enriched flour" in ingredient lists and it's in basically all processed foods that contain wheat.

That said, whole grain wheat is naturally high in iron, magnesium, folic acid, and other nutrients. If we would just use the whole grain (the bran, the germ, and the endosperm) rather than just the starchy endosperm, we would gain all of those nutrients without the need to enrich them.

I bake a lot of sourdough bread, always with some percent of 100% extraction (non-sifted) stone-ground whole wheat flour. We all should be eating far more whole grains.

Note: "whole wheat" products you see in the grocery store are often not produced by traditional 100% extraction whole grains. They often use roller mills to mill just the endosperm, and then add back in a certain portion of finely ground bran to give it color + flavor...but it's certainly not true whole grain.
You don't need bi-directionality to stabilize the grid, just modulating the charging that was going to happen anyway is far easier and more impactful.
In my experience, the whole `PyO3`-project is a rare gem in language integrations since the developers appear to have an intricate understanding of the ecosystems on both side of the integration.

The python parts are pythonic and the rust parts are "rusty". A joy to work with.
Are there any you could recommend? Most that I have looked at cost about the same or more as a Pi in the first place and don't even come with batteries.
I had quite a lot of free time when in college, but I still feel like I had less time to pursue my interests. Reason being that the course itself was intellectually demanding while also being quite prescribed about what you had to learn. Meaning I ended up using all my mental capacity grinding through a bunch of stuff that my professors wanted me to learn, leaving me with much less time to go off and learn what interested me.

Both before and since I've had more free capacity to pursue learning for it's own sake.
No one is using vertical farms for the kind of calorie dense food that would replace meat, and certainly not at any kind of scale.
> absurdly low average population density

Do you mean the total population and the total land area? Doing the division that's an absurdly low number, but probably an irrelevant one. Most trips don't go that far.

The real problematic "low density" is suburban neighbourhoods.
>horse medicine

studies that used it properly as a prophylactic show around a 90% reduction in mortality and around 50% reduction in infection rate. All the studies claiming it didn't work used it post-infection which even the proponents of ivermectin claimed wouldn't work

https://www.cureus.com/articles/111851-regular-use-of-iverme...

here's the main study used to claim it doesn't work- note the participants are already confirmed to have covid so the study is already worthless and essentially done in bad faith

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2797483

and here's another doing the same thing

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2115869

not saying Ivermectin is some miracle drug like many, but simply downplaying it as "horse medicine" is just as bad
That's only for display, or am I mistaken? Can I change entries?

from my non-expert viewpoint, the big penalty for named local variables in forth is that it is a barrier to breaking up a word into smaller words, because pieces of code inside the same word that communicate through a local variable will stop working if you break them into separate words

bigger words impede using the forth repl as a line-by-line stepping debugger, so they diminish the interactivity that is the reason you'd use want to forth in the first place

agreed about strings; one of the first things i wrote in forth was a straight port of bernstein's stralloc, last millennium
If you're just "not sure", buying puts wouldn't help. Running puts & long on a single equity is assuming a specific yield shape.

A good example would be an upcoming test result report for a pharmaceutical - it's either going strongly and gradually up (long) or suddenly and significantly down (put), but not gradually down (in which case you'd be out on both puts and longs).

But yeah, at this point you're a super-sophisticated investor and all of this discussion is meaningless. :)
> how can my grocery store sell something that tastes so disgusting?

Earnestly answering your question, it's because every person perceives taste differently (eg to some people, cilantro tastes like soap!). The complexity of vegan substitutes is high, because they're trying to simulate a completely different flavor. So likely you're just sensitized to whatever happens to be in that particular product. If you tried a different fake baloney, you'd likely have a completely different experience (not saying a good experience necessarily, depending on your expectations, but at least different).
> No one ever said the original vax prevented against transmission.

CDC Director Rochelle Wolensky said: "Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that it's not just in the clinical trials, but it's also in real-world data."[1].

President Biden said, “If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the ICU unit and you’re not going to die.” He then went on to says: “You’re not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations.”[2]

> This has always been a pandemic of the unvaccinated.

"Fifty-eight percent of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted, according to an analysis conducted for The Health 202 by Cynthia Cox, vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation. We can no longer say this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.."[3]

Your comment goes against what you originally said then, which is that you 'don't want some wanker at Twitter or Facebook office' to decide that. You're making a concession that you do want them to decide SOME content that is by default blocked, which then this becomes a matter of degrees. Some people would disagree with your stance and think that it still violates free speech, hence Parler/Gab etc. Plenty of disturbing content is not illegal, which is where the gray area of moderation comes into play.

Even if you don't subscribe to people that post that, there's still the issue of network effects. They subscribe to someone that subscribes to someone that subscribes to someone that posts a beheading video that gains popularity, and so the algorithm prioritizes that traffic because it's within your graph. You can easily notice these effects just on Twitter if you pay attention closely to what it decides to show you.
sweet, thanks, but i don't saas much
There are several public DNS servers that have block list functionality built in.

This has the advantage of working on any kind of device that allows you to manually specify a DNS server IP address, without having to install or maintain software.

For example, AdGuard maintains public DNS server IP Address options that: filter nothing, filter out ads and trackers, or filter out ads, trackers and adult content.

I am biased but I don't think it's fair to say that your article covers as much. There is more content in the article written in a way that's trying to be approachable. I certainly will agree it's wordy but it's hard to make content that's interesting to a wide audience

Your article does cover how to use/enable them while the post does not. But it's meant for part 2
>I don't remember a due process being followed for most of those ISIS accounts being banned. I don't remember the social networks restricting their bans to those people that had been convicted of illegal communications.

> And yet I supported that move. I understood that the network would not want that sort of crap on its airwaves, and that might see a business interest in not having its platform associated with that movement, and want to eliminate the ability of that movement to use their platforms to further their aims.

Again, you're missing the point, blocking proven terrorists is not the same as the politic you don't like.

You're trying to excuse blocking benign stuff by desperately trying to group them with stuff most people would agree is probably borderline illegal and harmful
The Monkey Story
My $DAYJOB has a very high match to this. In fact, I used to do data and analytics full-time for a long while (a lot of Spark, basically, mostly cutting through the usual lambda and K-architecture hype, bulding data lakes and <omg> "lakehouses") in several F500 companies.

I could not agree more with the overall sentiment that data science is overblown in terms of reproducible results because the people doing it just don't have an actual process or good leadership focus (which is not just a startup problem...).

So much so that I stayed stauncihily on the "data engineering" track because it was much more concrete in terms of technology, performance drivers, and business outcomes than the folk who sold pipedreams of magical AI models that would provide amazing analytics overnight.

Turns out that if you can't get at, scrub and actually _use_ the data, figuring out trends or training models doesn't happen, so I focused on making at least that 50% of the project happen and leave nice, tidy infrastructure, workflows and schemas for the data science folk to go through.

I also had the good fortune to work with some very organized, knowledgeable ML folk who actually understood how things worked, but some partners and customers had... incredibly disorganized "data scientists" that would leave stuff scattered all over the place (including private copies of datasets on their laptops when we had nice, secure remote sandboxes for them that even did data masking to avoid leaking sensitive data).

Personally, I blame a lot of this on lack of certifications or professional training that emphasises _process_. Otherwise it's exactly the same problem we've had for the past 20 years in BI departments: People doing their own Excel sheets because "SQL is hard" and nobody can do ETL properly.

(Full disclosure: I am an MS FTE, spent something like 10 years doing analytics almost full time, and have presented on how to do Data Science at scale a few times: https://carmo.io/talks)
It's more like the USDA is begged to differ.

They exist to be an ultimate authority, and that constrains them from presenting a compromised position, even if that compromise is something people find widely acceptable. The USDA simply isn't in a position to guarantee enough safety in this case to balance against their liability.

Safety is compromise. Eating rare steak is risky, but most of the risk is mitigated. Getting sick from eating rare steak is, itself, rare.
That's a good guide, but L2 is standard AC charging (usually with a 240V outlet in your garage/driveway) not DC Fast Charging
See, this is why the NEV class of vehicle was legislated into existence before the technology was able to capitalize on the potential. That's how I pulled disparate parts together and also solve a lot of problems relating to transition.

First, smaller cars, smaller batteries. Still can have ICE vehicles for range. Smaller cars help density, 2 Wallaby EV cars are designed to fit in one US garage space (other models may be larger).

Second, the UTV class will employ upgradeable solar panels for replacement as technology mandates - no OTA stuff, just a few hex screws probably and some plugs. Like modifying an RC car.

Third, we can't get away from energy density problems at scale with EV even trying to supplement with solar, and I'm thinking about making EV UTVs that are off-grid self-supporting as long as the generator system (sold separately, also useful in other applications) is brought along.

Fourth, the Wallaby EV system is not aiming to penetrate high-dollar households with the discretionary income to make changes of this nature - the transition clients need to save money on gas, car insurance, and then they can afford electricity and heat and maybe some school supplies. This is the real world and these folks need help and are #1 to benefit from getting away from petroleum. Cost fluctuations, being in a ghetto where the gas is a dollar more than 2 zip codes away, food desert issues, urban density...all these are the natural habitat of the Wallaby EV.

Fifth, the grid in Texas recently had trouble coping with a giant storm which fortunately my hospital grid location saved me from freeze issues, and it's still an issue. Until mentally incompetent grand-sitters get out of the way, it's not even worth talking about potential fixes. This has to be grassroots, not top down.

Tesla already tried top down. The build quality is embarrassing. Also on the top end a Focus ST will catch a Model S easily at anything starting over 90 mph. Smoked by a $15,000 used car. The Wallaby EV racer on the other hand will likely require a fighter pilot G-suit because of the active aero and tricks I have up my sleeve (all thanks to EV plug and play type concepts).

I am so excited about the future I actually spent real money for a change to setup the structure to house the pages and pages of business plans, roles, materials, and logistics to make it work. Great USA jobs for USA employees making something start-to-finish with USA materials. My ultimate middle finger to the legacy of Steve Jobs.
Yes, you have holidays, paid medical insurance, paid gym, 1 month notice period both ways etc. No one will put extra hours on him etc.

In this sense the CEO is right, this guy is a troublemaker. He just joined an outsourcing company, a "bodyshop". It's just putting your energy into something perpendicular to where he has to. As CEO mentions, there are ways to escalate many things, and in Polish culture escalating and raising questions slowly is expected. There was practically nothing for him to gain, so it is perceived as something inappropriate.

Even though it's a perfectly legal thing to do, of course. And he's fired "bez zachowania okresu wypowiedzenia", so without a paid extra month, that's a bullish part from the employer, if the guy didn't sign the document, he probably is going to sue.
The only threat that comes from Signal using phone numbers is that if the police arrests someone you are communicating with, and police somehow unlocks their phone (https://xkcd.com/538/), then they can see what you and them wrote as well as your phone number and therefore know who you are. I agree that in some situations, for example anti-government activists, journalists communicating with whistleblowers or criminals, this is bad. For these situations, Signal is not the solution.

Spam is not illegal. Blocking non-illegal speech is censorship. End of story. There is no argument around this. Any conditions you place on it are arbitrary and are just you saying certain things are acceptable and others are not -- which is the definition of censorship.
In California. The situation can be different in other places and countries.
I haven't used ExFAT on macOS regularly since the OS X days, but some old notes of mine say:

1. After each “write session” to an ExFAT volume, open Terminal and type “fsck_exfat -d disk<dnumber>s<snumber>” where <dnumber> is the disk number and <snumber> is the partition number of your ExFAT volume 2. Avoid deleting files on ExFAT volumes using a Mac!
It's absolutely doable, and greener sources of energy would be the ideal way to do it. At the same time, it's worth noting how California has not increased its power generation by any major amount since 2001. Even as wind and solar pick up, nuclear and other power sources are decommissioned.

This means that the increased generation requirements would still be a concern. Even if all it takes is for the existing power plants to switch to running all day around, it still means there will be an increase in non-power-plant materials needed: additional maintenance, fuel, personnel, storage, etc.

TANSTAAFL, in other words.
I don’t know that the prices
during the DCA period are trending upwards, I have no information about short term fluctuations other than they exist.

I have no reason to believe that over the relatively short period of DCA that there is specific upside or downside coming along immediately, but I know that there is noise in the pricing. The rising trend I’m betting on is further down the line and very slow.

You’re adding assumptions that support your view, rather than addressing the problem as stated.
Pfsense is free (if you already have a server to run it on) and a switch with vlan support (not a managed switch, just a smart switch) can be had in the $100 range. Probably need an AP/SSID per vlan though, assuming the vlan awareness stops at the switch.

But you're spot on regarding effort/learning.
It's different at a lot of non-tech companies. I'm in the nonprofit world and my interview barely had any technical component at all.
