Hey here's the secret they found. Get more exercise, get more sleep, and get a good breakfast in you. Genius!

> “We have known for some time that a diet high in sugar is harmful to sleep, not to mention being toxic for the cells in your brain and body,” Walker added.

Okay, I'm glad to see another mention about how harmful sugar is at least.

> “However, what we have discovered is that, beyond these harmful effects on sleep, consuming high amounts of sugar in your breakfast, and having a spike in blood sugar following any type of breakfast meal, markedly blunts your brain’s ability to return to waking consciousness following sleep.”

> “A breakfast rich in carbohydrates can increase alertness, so long as your body is healthy and capable of efficiently disposing of the glucose from that meal, preventing a sustained spike in blood sugar that otherwise blunts your brain’s alertness,” Vallat said

> A standardized breakfast, with moderate amounts of fat and carbohydrates, was compared to a high protein (muffins plus a milkshake), high carbohydrate or high sugar (glucose drink) breakfast.

So they presented several breakfast options. Including one high sugar, and one high carb, which as we know is going to end up as sugar. What they did not do is include an option that involves not having a meal at all until several hours after waking.

> The researchers also discovered that a healthy controlled blood glucose response after eating breakfast is key to waking up more effectively.

Well, no they didn't "discover" that, and if they're not checking against the option of not eating breakfast at all, then they can't know that it is key to waking up more effectively.

There are lots of people I follow - if I go to their Tweets/Replies "wall" I can see their posts. But they don't show up at all on my timeline (either home or latest tweets).

Now, most of these folks are non-mainstream street reporters, establishment-critical types and the like (who Musk has claims are "repressing" him). Most of these folks simply don't care about Elon and just want to geek out about electoral / activism. But I don't see almost any of their tweets in the timeline.

If I have to create a List to see all their updates, what's the point of a timeline? (note: when I tried to add a lot of people to a list, Twitter logged me out / locked my account until I did 2FA again - very antagonistic).

That's when I decided to leave and haven't gone back since. Mastodon is very quiet comparatively but doesn't smell of Musk.
I can say about Germany. There is a working visa for qualified workers called Blue Card which is what most software engineers get. With it you can stay unemployed for three months and can apply for a jobseeker visa after that without having to return. Also if you know German above certain level you can get a permanent residency after less than two years, which is not tied to being employed

A deliberate practice environment has four elements:
1) Repeat exposure (aka volume of attempts)
2) Valid environment (a win is a win and a loss is a loss)
3) Timely feedback (you know immediately whether you won or lost)
4) Deliberate practice.
Deliberate practice without the other three is not complete.
I have my phone remind me do to all those simple things that used to be effortless, like take a shower, eat something, feed the cat, water the plants, etc.

I investigated that once, and I don't think it's IT dysfunction in that case. My understanding (because I found this odd as well) is that it's because the support load for that site is so high, and the likelihood of abandoned processes without support so high, that the best solution they had at whatever point in time they instituted that was business-hours operation.

Correct, but Apple follows US law first and Chinese law second. And Huawei follows Chinese law first and US law second. For example the US could block Apple from selling iPhones in china. If they didn't listen the US government could (theoretically) have the board arrested. Same story with China and Huawei. What this means is that China could tell Huawei to shut down their infrastructure in the US. Wether they would actualy be able to do so is unknown, but that that isn't a risk that makes sense to take.

But to your point, China has more control over Apple than the US does over Huawei as iPhones are assembled there (with most components beinf made in Korea and Taiwan).
Here's what I wrote for someone else that asked the same question:

> I went a different route. I went through my primary care doctor. I told him I'm getting in trouble at work due to procrastination and lack of attention. I also said my wife and friends/family have been complaining that I never listen anymore. I asked if I could be evaluated for ADHD. He sent a referral to a provider with https://lifestance.com. It was only two appointments with the LifeStance provider to get a diagnoses. Once my doc got the diagnoses back from LifeStance, he's been in charge of prescribing the meds.

The problem they're going to run into is the best engineers have prospects elsewhere, regardless of the economy.
They mention towards the end that they haven't found a natural programming model for this sort of thing yet and are playing around with different ideas. My initial thought was that an APL-style language with OCR could be a fairly natural fit, maybe as part of a node-based thing like their Crosscut project.
As one example: in the US, employers with more than 100 employees have to give 60 days notice of layoffs of a certain size. Outsource customer service to small, closely held subcontractors and you can avoid the requirement.
Public policymakers initially worked to combat it. You can find Margaret Thatcher, George H W Bush, Newt Gingrich etc. all taking a totally sensible view on it.

Sometime around 1988-1992 some of them changed tack dramatically and started fighting against efforts to fight against it.
Yes, considering they're on the doorstep of Russia and Belarus this is a fairly likely scenario. If their power utilities were targeted the way Ukraine's have been how many of these systems are still going to be able to run? That said if you've imposed martial law and men aren't allowed to leave the country because they've got to stay and fight then at least demand for your online passport service will have dropped by at least 50%

> "Communication" starts with realizing that you have to meet people where they are, not expect them to adopt your style. You have to have some respect for them.

Castigating people for word choices that you personally dislike while simultaneously advising them to "not expect them to adopt your style" is hilarious.
> To be eligible for forgiveness, you must have federal student loans and earn less than $125,000 annually (or $250,000 per household). Borrowers who meet that criteria can get up to $10,000 in debt cancellation.

Do lawyers or doctors typically earn less than $125,000 or $250,000/household? If not, loan forgiveness does not impact them the way you think.

> Is it? I see far more people saying that material possessions don't make one happy than that they do. How many movies, novels, etc, are about living for oneself rather than possessions? How many say the opposite? IMO everyone knows that material possessions are nice to have, in the sense that we all want what we want, but also that they do not produce happiness. Does anyone say otherwise?

Yeah, I agree with you in that it is "common knowledge" that material possessions != happiness. However, I do question that we actually believe this on a level deeper than just an intellectual exercise.
I think that it would be better to be a bit more precise about what we mean by "material possession". For example: would the fulfillment of the desire to be in a love relationship count as "material possession"? I would say it does, in the sense that the expectation is that an external element will fulfill us, because there is something that we currently lack to feel 'complete'. So we might think: "if only I had this relationship with this beautiful person" or "if only I could buy a bigger house", the abstract form being "if only I could have X or Y experience", etc. In this sense I would say that this paradigm is very much the rule in our attempt for happiness, and even if people acknowledge intellectually that it isn't so, it is actually implicit in their worldview and behavior.
at least the US has woken up to some degree. Humans are funny in how imagery impacts response to things. China has done trillions in damage to the US economy the past few decades but it wasn't tangible so we did nothing. They've killed far more people then 9/11 via shipping synthetic opioid precursors to Mexico but the response is non-existent. IP theft allowed them to undercut US businesses and destroy them but it's so abstract people don't get worked up into a frenzy over it compared to if they'd literally dropped a bomb on the same business

> However, what actual responsibility are the CEOs taking after hiring like crazy knowing fully well that the pandemic exuberance and stimulus wasn’t going to keep the recession away, only delay it? I’m sure competitive pressure was part of the reason for the overhiring but it’s still not the whole story.

Why do you think Doordash/Shopify/Stripe "knew full well" that this boom wouldn't last?

The common thinking in SV and the world as a whole was that the pandemic accelerated the adoption of online services by about 5 years due to lockdowns and WFH. Unfortunately, the world reverted to the mean with regards to online shopping and ordering food pretty quickly in 2022, but this idea of accelerated-online was a reasonable one held by many.

Hell, if you looked at the numbers during those quarters at all these companies, the boards and shareholders would have fired the CEOs if they hadn't staffed up.
Give it a few weeks. If this is a pattern it should start to come to light once a few cases are publicised.

How people wake up and regain alertness in the hours after sleep is related to how they are sleeping, eating, and exercising. Here, in a prospective longitudinal study of 833 twins and genetically unrelated adults, we demonstrate that how effectively an individual awakens in the hours following sleep is not associated with their genetics, but instead, four independent factors: sleep quantity/quality the night before, physical activity the day prior, a breakfast rich in carbohydrate, and a lower blood glucose response following breakfast. Furthermore, an individual’s set-point of daily alertness is related to the quality of their sleep, their positive emotional state, and their age. Together, these findings reveal a set of non-genetic (i.e., not fixed) factors associated with daily alertness that are modifiable.

Good question, I still need to get my REAL ID.
I would not be surprised if this turned out to be yet another of those unverifiable China stories that pop up all the time, but later turn out to be wrong.
>I have a strong belief that technical skills aren't as important as the ability to be a suck-up in most mega-corps.

Hasn't it always been this way at organizations, tech or not? Not even suck ups but people that don't cause a stir, keep their heads down, yes men to whatever the manager asks, etc.

Personally, I've seen it in action in a workplace where everyone "loves" so and so. That person would put on a good face and tell them how "amazing" everything was in every interaction. Behind their backs, that definitely wouldn't be the dialogue.

>You can easily buy a suck-up offering graduates a six-figure salary.

Or less. A name brand, prestige title, or industry. When I worked in visual effects, it's enough to get your name at the end of a movie to justify working 80-90 hour weeks. Video game peeps had it worse and you don't even see their names on a big screen.

>It's like VPs are building their own personal armies not to get ousted by the other feudal lords.

This is pretty visible in transitions right? New manager comes in, people loyal to old ones start melting away to different groups or leave to either join old manager or go somewhere else. The new manager brings in people they know and trust.

It's how we all benefit from weak ties.
This looks like the press release for the inconclusive and basically useless study that was discussed here recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33719671
Yes, large corporations tend to get bloated. It doesn't have to be that way though. Many companies will come to find they didn't need nearly as many as they have after all.

I would agree that the more employees a company has, the more the architecture/design shapes around the size of their labor force. But it also doesn't have to be that way

Let's watch Twitter and see
Again Occam's razor. Your are applying to much to it.

There's been no push to overhaul H1B as it has little political value for the politicians. I see what people are frustrated about especially those on H1B but I don't think it is some cynical reason by the politicians - its more that it has little to gain for them.

It's a non-voting group of people and it isn't a large enough issue for any of their voting base.

It is not some weird theory about keeping H1B an underclass and putting downwards pressure on domestic employees.
Remote jobs are in high demand, but positions are drying up
They can demand it all they want. The difference is that US law gives companies the legal right to say "no" when it comes to suppressing speech critical of the government.
Put it this way, if the company was wildly successful how much credit does the executive team take for itself? Now in a downturn, you take that much blame.

So if you took a huge bonus for all your leadership during the pandemic, I don't see why you shouldn't lose your job when your lack of leadership did the opposite. Either you were responsible or you weren't. You choose to "be in charge" only on the upside.

The geography of the Bay Area makes it harder to escape high housing prices while retaining somewhat reasonable access to pretty much the whole stretch between SF and San Jose. By contrast, go out to the suburbs and exurbs of Boston and--while some are pretty pricey--there are pretty reasonable options on commuter rail and an hour drive from the city. (And many jobs in tech and other fields aren't in the city anyway.)

Yes, housing in the core downtowns is pricey, but get outside the city and there are decent options. This is true of a lot of places. The Bay Area makes it unusually hard to escape high pricing.
Hence why I said low paid, because he's definitely not in one of those jobs.

If you're talking about the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness plan, I think you've been a bit misled about the "lawyers/doctors" part - you have to be making under $125k/yr ($250k/yr if filing as married) to qualify for forgiveness, and the vast majority of eligible loans are undergraduate, not graduate. So it would likely be extremely rare for well-paid doctors or lawyers to have their loans forgiven through this program - unless they were working in lower-paid positions (think rural doctor or public defender - arguably exactly the type of roles we should aim to encourage people into with programs like this!)
I would add that teams also need to commit to reading a lot, and to regularly editing what was previously written.

Writing in a culture where the written word doesn't have an impact, or where documents are skimmed once and go to die, is frustrating and will discourage people from trying.

Thinking about it, wouldn't mono support this fairly well? I don't have much experience with mono nor C#, but going from a sibling comment and my package manager, I would be tempted to install mono-msbuild-sdkresolver and run `mono build`.

Of course, I believe a command-line tool is a better fit, especially if one wants to automate this.

The real value of this project probably lies in the buildings the author made :)
I have a lot of non-native speakers on my team in which I am the lead. I write "skeletal" design docs for them after discussing what needs to be built, and have them finish the last mile. Over time, I reduce the amount of writing I do for them and expect them to be able to write on their own. Usually they get used to the process and recognize that they can copy paste a lot of the things they need to write from their previous docs.
I didn’t see any statement on the site that the ads and donations were ringfenced to cover server costs.
I have not researched this but rather than being a sign of IT dysfunction my guess would be the government contracts out the maintenance of the web site to the private sector and the contract specs happen to be written to say it will be closed on nights and weekends. In theory this makes the contract cheaper than if the government was buying 24/7 support.

Yes this. Our house has a mother in law suite. While we have tiny kids it's my office and my partner's art studio but it converts nicely into a guest suite. When my kids are grown I expect at least one of them will want to move to the MIL suite on a semi-permanent basis.

Tolstoy's Confession is a short yet quite thoughtful read that I'm glad I happened to stumble on many years ago. I'm due for a reread. Even if you don't agree with the conclusions he comes to in there, you will likely relate to the struggles he shares.

Herman Hesse's Siddhartha gave me a somewhat similar feeling after finishing it, which I'm also overdue for a reread.
