After a little testing, this looks like a good information source, although the combination of Google Scholar and sci-hub is probably still the best option, i.e. I couldn't find anything with Internet Scholar that wasn't available with the other options, and the quality of results on searchs is somewhat higher with Google Scholar (this may be because Google Scholar utilizes citation count as a search parameter, which Internet Archive Scholar doesn't seem to do).

Internet Archive is a great resource, however, it should get state funding as it provides a fundamentally important archival service. It's too bad it has to rely so much on private philanthropic donations (although state support comes with possible political interference, i.e. censorship of material that some politician doesn't like, maybe that's less of a problem with private donations, although then you could have some billionaire doing the same thing).
Agree with the gist of the article. My most productive work was in a team of three where people had different strengths. The same team got blown up to 10 people and we were doing less - albeit more ambitious work, but a lot of time was wasted with people with same strengths stepping on each other toes. Where we had one person with the need to feel important and do "cool" work, we had three with different views. So methodology was far off from the key thing.

With SLBMs, GPS (and the predecessors to GPS e.g. NAVSAT) are/were used to determine where exactly they were being launched from. The ballistic missile submarine would determine its precise location before launch using these satellite geolocating systems and use that position to calculate the flight path which inertial guidance in the missile would follow.

This was useful because inertial navigation in the submarines was imperfect, but having a precise location fix for the submarine was important if you wanted to shoot at things precisely. Of course with ICBMs launched from fixed silos, the origin point was precisely known from the onset.

You can buy a 19.2kW level 2 charger now that will add just over a mile a minute of range (though I don't believe any consumer EVs are on the market just yet which support that rate). For a few more bucks (more than a few, really, but still attainable) it's possible to install a 25kW DC charger at home that would probably work with most EVs today.

I've no need for it myself, we just charge at regular old 32A from a 14-50 wall socket, but it's interesting to watch the market evolve. Maybe 19.2kW will become the new normal.

It’s still GitHub’s fault for not communicating this clearly enough.

The problem really is, why does “Sign in with GitHub” grant permissions to act as the user on GitHub? Shouldn’t that be called something else like “Allow nopecha.com to Act as You”?

I would argue that the words “Sign in with X” should NEVER grant any other permissions than needed for being a pure auth proxy.
yeah it's been at least three weeks that it's been doing that now
>this calculation dressed up as a 'neutral assessment' on Github seems disingenuous and makes me trust them less

agreed. they have a corporate blog on their site, so there's no reason that advertorial content like this couldn't be posted there. posting on github just seems like a dirty trick to add authority to marketing content. and it feels especially dirty because they don't share their own pricing to compare it to.
Twitter being one of the largest communication platforms in the world is something that I am much more concerned about than a much smaller internet forum.

So my point stands.
I understand the term to mean

- dense protein vs calories

- adequate quantities of all consituient amino acids

- easily digestable

So e.g. beef is a higher quality protein than beans, by that metric.

It's hard to know the ideal amount of protein for sure w/o e.g. life-long RCTs (and even then, that answer will only be for whatever context those studies are done in), and to be sure there are people to advocate for low-protein diets as well as for high-protein.

Personally, I'm placing my bets on high-protein.

I've tried everything from vegan to vegetarian to (now) meat-based diets, and I feel by far the healthiest and strongest on a meat based diet. (And it's my most recent diet, so I have the disadvantage of aging going along w/ it.)

Given the lack of consensus around dietary topics, I'd advise all people to keep an open mind and do some indivdual experimentation.

(I take it as an axiom that feeling good, strong, healthy in the moment is a good predictor of health over the long term, thus making personal experimentation a valid approach. Of course that could in theory be not true, but it seems very unlikely to me.)

Also remember that the way DocuSign works it is the company paying for it, not the people signing. That makes it even harder to disrupt, because the "great majority of users" are used to the DocuSign workflow and aren't paying and have no incentive to change.

>The "someone else is better at the stuff I don't want to do than me" argument rarely holds up either. The friction that comes from dividing the work along lines like modeling and production and trying to hand off is rarely worth it when one person can do both.

This was always my attitude. Every time you split something you add coordination overhead. This overhead gets worse the more times you split.

Of course there is specialization that can make someone else sufficiently more effective that you shouldn't do everything.

But every gain in specialization has to be weighed against increased communication costs.

Add to that a lot of problems don't need a lot of specialization but touch on many different disciplines.

This is why I think, contrary to the trend of specialization, we need generalists that can cover most bases at once and decrease the communication overhead considerably.

It's often still good to have specialists, but you should mostly employ generalists and only a few specialists in key technologies that set your company apart from others.
Supplements are not supposed to have actual, measurable effects. If it turns out one does, then it was evidently misclassified in the first place.
Too many of these "Company X laid off y%, what's going on?" threads.

In general, a healthy emerging technology workforce should likely have ~ 20% turnover annually to stay fresh and modern. That means an average outside knowledge age of five years, which is quite long.

Some percentage of that 20% should be voluntary. If everyone stays 5 years before moving on, that's 20% turnover, with people leaving in 2 years balanced by people staying eight years, a long time in software years. Some percentage really should be so-called desired attrition, helping people find a better place.

It's unlikely all hires are great fits -- impressive if only 1 in 10 would be a better fit somewhere else -- so unlikely that 10% is as indicative of problems as you worry. For reasons, most firms are incapable of grappling with that day to day, so it takes adverse externalities to push them to encourage fit and upskilling mobility that should be normal.

If a firm can learn to help people find better fits and bring in current outside skills as a regular everyday part of business (rather than once a year layoffs), the firm will be much healthier.

I'm not really sure what the difference between "ALSA just works" and "ALSA as configured by my distribution and including the DMIX plugin just works" is.

Like at the end of the day option 2 is still "ALSA just works".
Hosting videos is trivial, especially for a relatively low-traffic event like this. Getting a dedicated host with unlimited traffic (like what Hetzner offers), you usually get a 1G uplink or better, should be able to host it no problem. Under 100 USD/month should be doable.
Ehhhh OSS is really not great, even v4. Re-using Unix file I/O functions for audio sounds clever, but falls apart pretty quickly in the real world. Even in the best case where you manage to shove every audio feature into open, read, write, and ioctl, it's never going to feel good to use (type safety...).

I don't mourn the loss of OSS.
I think you agree with OP, they just mixed up grantee and grantor (they use "granted" for grantee and "grantee" for grantor):

This was one of my biggest issues with a team I used to work on; they prided themselves on "doing what we said we would do" but just could not grasp how rigid and impossible to work with that becomes when an adjustment is needed.

What you said you would do is based on old information!
Only around 15% of Mexico's electricity comes from burning oil. The vast majority of it (over 50%) comes from burning natural gas.

Further, even with a high CO2 content electricity grid it is still cleaner to produce that electricity in power plants, because of the significantly more efficient burning that happens in large power stations versus the over 50% of energy wasted in an internal combustion engine.

In Mexico's case though with it's high natural gas content grid, switching to EVs is vastly better for CO2 pollution and general road pollution in general.

I have literally been in front of a screen too long, I thought this was a story about fixed-width fonts
I went with the total honesty approach. It doesn't seem to have affected them negatively in my case. I mean, I still enjoy Santa Claus to some degree. I don't think thinking it's real is a critical component of the experience.

My kids enjoy the elf on the shelf sort of thing, and they were always fully aware the elf is not actually getting up to shenanigans at night. Nevertheless it's fun for the entire family, because it stretches us parents to be creative a little bit every night as well. Most recently the elf was starring as Batman in a three-night, three-act structure in which he menanced Joker, then the tables were turned with the Joker having hijacked the Batmobile and running over Bat-Elf, then there was a climactic showdown involving the Lego train tracks the next night. Nobody needed to think these adventures are actually real to enjoy them.

I come in in between; the stories are important for other reasons, but it is in no way mandatory to tell them they're real. Maybe in the 19th century it was less of a big deal, reality was more real in a lot of ways. But in a world of deep fakes, CGI, incredibly organized special interest groups comparable to the size of entire powerful medieval cities a few centuries ago, etc. etc. I need all the trust I can get if I'm going to train them to survive in the unbelievably hostile environment they're trying to grow up in now. Recently I was showing my kids how they're being targeted by video game gambling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMmNy11Mn7g and I was musing on the fact my parents had basically zero need to be concerned about this. I couldn't have screwed my life up that way if I had set out with the explicit goal of doing so. I need all the trust from my kids I can marshal in this century.
> The "I hate Pulse Audio and especially Lennart" crowd tends to want to either go back to "Alsa" or tried at some point to install the old OSS drivers and then gave up.

Well, yeah, since when pulse showed up and started breaking people's audio it effectively replaced alsa (even though they kind of operate at different layers). So if you didn't like that, of course the solution was to rip out Poettering's bugfest and revert to alsa. Thankfully at some point pulse stabilized a lot and in my experience tends to just work out of the box these days, but people tend to have their habits set by the early versions that were pushed out before they were ready.
The claim is that:

1. CVS made a legally binding that CVS would donate $10 million to the ADA during the three year period of 2021 through 2023

2. CVS instead took the customer's own donations and used them to fulfill its own obligations.

The purpose of discussing tax law is that you seem incapable of understanding that a company's own donation and a pass-through donation are two different things. They legally come from two different entities, and for good reason. If the company pledged to donate its own money, and instead it "donated" its customer's own donations, this is not the same thing.

The claimed harm to the customer is that CVS had already pledged $10 million of its own money to ADA, so this money was already going to them, and the "donation" is therefore equivalent to a reimbursement to CVS itself, not additional money that helps the ADA. Clearly the customer desired to give money to the ADA, not to CVS. The ADA gets not a single penny more money from each donation if CVS only hands over the $10 million it had already pledged of its own money.

> an illegal tax deduction

Again, this is showing that you are unwilling to read my comments. I have not once described the issue as being a tax issue. I said "From a tax perspective" in a parenthetical in my very first comment, to show an example of how, legally, direction donations and pass-through donations are different, but said right away that "this particular case is about a legal obligation, not a tax credit." I've also referenced Tax Policy Center to, again, highlight how direct donations and pass-through donations are legally different.

You are the one who has gone on and on about taxes even though this case is not about that.
I seriously hate how misleading the titles of this report are (NOYB did the same crock and buried the lede 7 paragraphs into their report): Facebook tracking is illegal ONLY if Facebook hasn't asked for tracking consent.

If they did, they can track to their hearts' content - and it's horribly misleading that the news and news titles don't make this obvious. It'll put people into false sense of security.

Because the premise of this article is totally and utterly wrong. It says:

> Whether a methodology works or not depends on the criteria: team productivity, happiness, retention, conformity, predictability, accountability, communication, lines per day, man-months, code quality, artifacts produced, etc. Every methodology works if you measure the right thing. But in terms of the only measurement that really matters—satisfying requirements on time and within budget—I haven’t seen any methodology deliver consistent results.

Asking a methodology to always meet requirements on time and within budget is asking for human perfection. You might as well expect it to deliver world peace and end hunger as we know it as well. So of course if you set a ludicrously unattainable goal, development methodologies all fail. In every project, unforeseen obstacles will always come up, which usually means some combination of scope-cutting or delaying or (occasionally) spending more.

But when teams are having major problems in delivering working code at all or at a reasonable pace, that's where different methodologies can absolutely improve the situation, depending on what's going wrong and what the desired product is. So obviously they do work in terms of adding value, when applied appropriately.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater here.

You just have to be good at knowing what the problem patterns look like is the only trick to this, and not let something get out of hand when there's a ready-made tool available to fix the issue.
