I work in the lab, and have relatives and friends who have labs chock full of equipment -- often chained to old computers.

Often, the old software interacts with the old hardware via bespoke physical interfaces that aren't supported by the VM in a way that actually works. And it's the hardware that's expensive to replace. Sometimes it's multiple interfaces, e.g., video is a separate interface than the internal controls of a microscope. If the hardware is old enough, the interface is an ISA or PCI card with custom drivers. My spouse has had more than one occasion when her lab was able to keep an instrument running due to the kindness of a service rep having some discontinued parts on hand.

"Pure" software that could easily run on a VM is more likely to be supplanted by new software that's rarely as expensive as hardware.

I have personally revived some old hardware by finding an interface spec and writing my own support code in Python. That might sound like a big effort, but often, a particular use of a hardware device involves a tiny subset of the device's full feature set.

* The algorithm likes it when you're angry or sad or anything that makes you engage more. Your idea of what "everyone" is into these days is probably what the algorithm tells you.

* 2 Factor authentication. Always. Ignore anyone who says it's useless. It's just as important than strong passwords if your goal is to keep out random script kiddies.

* Don't buy anything linked to a cloud account that doesn't work without it. Unless it's like, really cheap, I can't blame you for that even though it's a minor environmental concern.

* Use Bitwarden to manage your passwords. Let it generate them for you. Use 2FA on your vault.

* Stay away from wannabe Apple companies selling some expensive luxury thing made of delicate real glass that needs their subscription to work and is missing 90% of the features everyone else has.

You probably don't need whatever Juicero-alike they invent next or some expensive headphones with no bluetooth or noise canceling.

* Look for standards and ecosystems everyone else uses. Matter, USB-C, MicroSD cards, etc. Avoid things that do everything different for no reason.

* Back. Everything. Up. Do NOT use anything that makes that hard. Use. Backups.

* If you have to ask, it's probably spying. You decide whether you care or not for yourself.

* If it's not spying, you're probably using it to talk to other people who do use spy devices, like me.

Here’s my take on it. I am a pretty light drinker. I think it’s nice, but not amazing. Half of my enjoyment is just culinary, trying different tastes.

But anything can become a habit, from leaving dirty dishes in the sink to buying too many cookies. A great way to reset a habit is just to stop doing it for awhile.

So for me, taking a break now and then helps to keep the calories in check and the overall consumption light.

I also take regular breaks from social media and caffeine.

It's all about what you want. You can be successful as an EM with your current skillset, but IMHO, the best eng managers and directors I've known and respect have spent much more time as engineers themselves. Having more engineering experience will also open more doors. I know I probably would not have hired someone with less then 5-6 solid years of IC experience in some EM roles. It's a common 'mistake' to 'promote' into an EM role some individuals quickly when they are good engineers early in their careers and show leadership skills and/or ambition and they have a need for an EM.

As you're starting to notice, if you don't gain more IC experience some roles will pass you on. You can still find success, but your profile will be somewhat less attractive in some companies and roles that will want to see that deeper IC experience.

I've gone from IC -> EM -> Director twice in my career, but admittedly I always kept doing some programming on the side, even if a little (either consulting or open source). I did not transition from Director back to IC because of career concerns though. I did it because I wanted to enjoy coding again and worry less about my calendar.

Feel free to reach out if you want to chat more about career development.
> This only really happens when you have race conditions

Or when the network is unpredictable, you retry because it's taking too long, then the second request succeeds, then somehow the first request succeeds.

Or on props update.

That's no longer 5 LOC.

> over 3 quarters of my data fetching is just a simple fetch on onComponentDidMount

Congratulations. Do you also do that for authenticated requests? If so, either you are using some kind of hardcoded global variable, or you are not using 5 lines of code.

> do you mean to tell me I have to bring in a library just for that?

Of course not. You can implement your own library for that. Or copy-paste it all over the place.

What I'm saying is that for things that are more advanced than basic data fetching, you may want to bring better tools than just fetch + 4 extra LOC.

SWA is generally one of the bigger users of any particular airport they use as SWA tends to avoid the "primary tier" hub airports.

If it's life safety chances are there's an acceptance/certification test that needs to be done to demonstrate safety. I think some applications that are life safety can use FEA for acceptance test but the criteria are strict and the FEA model needs to be well understood. FEA is mostly to aid in the design phase.
Wonderful postmortem, Paul. Appreciate you taking the time to reflect and share what you learned.
> He was “a guy you’d want to have a beer with,” but his populist appeal didn’t extend beyond a superficial level, being photographed in cowboy clothes clearing brush on his ranch.

I'd argue that it went further than that. Perhaps this was ginned up by his liberal critics, who loved to muckrake up shocking exposés like Jesus Camp and make clumsy analogies between Evangelicalism and the Taliban, but Bush's bluff, often stumbling, manner and tendency to engage in dismissing "those in the know" also encapsulated an anti-intellectualism that was intended to appeal to anti-elite, and thus populist, image.

Hell, his anti-intellectualism was written about in December 2000 [0], before his presidency had even begun! The fact that he was seen as somewhat of a dunderhead also fed into that. Despite being a dynastic scion and cabal of advisors, he also posed as a political outsider as well [1]. Perhaps in some ways, Bush's attempts to portray himself as diametrically opposite of what he was, thereby using the Big Lie technique, is something that he and Trump stylistically have in common, and is something that made libs mad in both eras.

> He was not at all pugnacious

While he might not have personally attacked critics as later presidents might have- calling anti-war critics treasonous in a more roundabout, conventional-politician way than directly- he was certainly seen as a bellicose warmonger to critics, especially by foreign observers. Though sure, perhaps this is a case where policy overshadowed personal style.

But no, I'm sure he was seen as a pugnacious to some degree, even if it was only in a ridiculous, chickenhawk, "lemme at him, chief" sort of way.

> to his lack of presidential decorum and sophistication.

As per above, burnished his populist image to a segment of the electorate. Certainly in contrast to Kerry.

It's this, or general detachment due to their circle.
The other cat is being observed by the other you. When you open the box and look, you entangle your state with the cat's, and the wavefunction describing both of you becomes one that could be decomposed as a superposition of two "worlds", one with a live cat and a you who's observed a live cat, the other with a dead cat and a you who's observed a dead cat.

As far as I can see people's objection to this tends to be that they don't feel like they're in a superposition. To which my response is: what would you expect it to feel like? Bearing in mind that the wavefunction is describing all the states of your neurons etc..

We have no public evidence yet to know with absolute certainty who is responsible. But an honest assessment of the motives, benefits, costs, not to mention blatant declarations of Biden and State Department flunkies make it 99% clear who was responsible. Whether the British pulled the trigger or some other errand boy is of little consequence.
> What do you mean by "any OS you like"?

It means: Any OS I like.

What's so difficult to understand here? (I could offer to switch to German in case you have issues in understanding English).

Of course, one would need to port any particular OS first in case one wants to run it on some new hardware.

But porting any OS I like to Apple devices is as easy as doing that for any other open and properly documented hardware, right?
I wouldn't go that far. Rather I'd say that it opens up the risks and abuses to a much wider audience. I think the fact that there is no open source baseband firmware or open hardware for the GSM/LTE stack makes it even worse. There is no escape valve for consumers to exercise control over their privacy, and the technology doesn't care about regulatory boundaries, not that _any_ countries government actually wants that.
Southwest also has pretty good size seats, afaik, relative to other airlines' economy seat size. Plus the whole "you're all the same so we treat you all the same" thing is nice. I do wish there was an international equivalent.

I vaped every day for 4 years or so, then quit this year. I am extremely happy with the decision. I don't miss it anymore. I thought it was helping me with anxiety but actually I have less anxiety now. And I am working more hours and taking better care of myself. I never liked the idea of abusing my lungs for my drug habit anyway. Vaping dry flower is better than smoking, but it still can't be good for you.

It took me about two months to stop craving it. Also someone else mentioned melatonin for sleep which could be an issue for some when quitting and I recently found that can be great. Doesn't take much.
This guy here [0] articulates my thoughts about tabs perfectly.

If all you care about is buffers, what do you miss about them in vscode or IntelliJ? Their idea of buffers is the same as vim, as far as I can tell.

Or is the problem that the IDE functionality is not implemented as buffers? So you can't use your normal keys in non-text places? That was what I was referring in the second part of the comment.

No, the common assumption is that we attempt to describe the universe with precise tools like mathematics, but the map isn’t the territory and all models are incomplete, some are just less incomplete. The universe being mathematical is a form of Platonism, which is the belief that mathematical and abstract objects are real.
> Why decoherence selects a particular basis?

consilient answered this one.

> decoherence still does not explain the origin of probabilities

The amplitudes corresponding to each decoherent branch are the right ones to give the Born rule probabilities. Which, given that the Born rule is empirically observed to work, is probably as good as we're going to get unless (as I doubt will ever happen) someone manages to find a way to derive the Born rule from unitary dynamics.

> vehicle batteries are limited by charge/discharge cycles, not age.

LFP batteries from the last few years are not limited by cycles. If you're charging every few days to weekly, it would take 50 years to hit the 3000-5000 cycle limits. Thermal degradation will happen a lot faster.

> There is a word the customers have for the bullet-point style of communication. They call it “curt” and they don’t like it.

Unfortunately, yes. I do have my own word for such people: wrong. As in, they probably never experienced a collaborative workload that's high enough to teach them the value of succinct and precise communication. Or, as my wife would say, you can tell who had an actual high-pressure office job by their communication style.

> I can also read faster than I can write, so I have no problem quickly reading over what ChatGPT generates before sending it.

So do I. So do most people, or at least they think so. The problem is, people don't read letter by letter, or word by word. They read by pattern-matching word shapes and sentence shapes - which leads to all kinds of misreadings. It's not an issue in prose, or in high-stakes situations when people are careful. It is an issue in a typical e-commerce conversation, though.

I'm considered a careful reader by people in my circles, and often get to proof-read other peoples' messages. In that role, I've seen first-hand how people can misread "three days" as "three weeks", or "X is not available" as "X is available", etc., because the information was puffed up into a whole paragraph, and the person read it too fast. Being "curt" would've saved both the buyer and the seller from having a bad day.

While you are correct and it would be more accurate to call them 'impulsive reactions based on limited information' than 'common sense' - that doesn't make it a good thing. And in fact it's quite bad. Though Reddit has about 90% of their comments to thank for people doing that. They react based on the title of an article, without reading said article, nor the facts the article is based on - and other people arguing with them about their reaction.

Actually, you said something hyperbolic that was spectacularly false, which you seem to have no intention of acknowledging. If one has a defensible point, it's usually much better to go ahead and make that point in the first place. As it stands, you'll have to hope that someone else makes it to me on some other day, I guess, if it matters to you.
