I tried to quit programming twice. Once to become a full-time musician (too hard even if you are very good, not enough money). Another time to work in mental health (the training was too intense). I figured out how to make it work for me long-term and the key was to focus on what my needs are both in a job and outside of a job.

It also has helped tremendously to put significant effort into learning how to communicate effectively (reading books, attending workshops, etc.), focusing significant energy into learning project management and people skills even if I don't want to be a manager, and to only take jobs with folks who I feel really respected and valued by. I also realize that I simply can't work a 40 hour week so now I work a 30 hour week even though it means that I am compensated less. I can use those two extra hours per day to exercise, practice music, meditate, take my time eating breakfast and reading, etc.

To turn this into questions that you can ask yourself:

1. What do you hate most about your job?

2. Are you able to articulate these difficulties and challenges to your supervisor and team and really be heard? If not, what can you do to improve your ability to state your needs?

3. Are you willing to leave a job that doesn't satisfy you and are you confident in your abilities to identify a job that you would like better?

4. Are you willing to sacrifice money for improved happiness?

5. Is there something else that you would rather be doing? How can you integrate that into your life to make your life feel balanced?
I wonder how much of this might be due to every member of a team being more likely to work out of the same office in a SV located company than in other companies.

The reason I’ve been so bullish on remote work coming out of the pandemic is because multiple jobs I had before the pandemic were very much remote jobs, with the added requirement of having to perform them from an office building 45-60 minutes away from me. My team was distributed across New York, Florida, Texas, and California, so all of our meetings were using Teams or Zoom anyway. The fact that I had to ride a train twice a day just to take those zoom calls from a local office was always an annoyance.
Is it not possible to design a pulse oximeter that's calibrated to different skin colors?
EDIT: This is a known issue w/ all pulse oximeters. See Prof Kadambi @UCLA work on this --> https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fixing-medical-de...

FDA is aware of this issue. Increasing diversity in clinical trials is a hard problem. https://www.linkedin.com/events/increasingdiversityinclinica...
This seems like an attempt to hold up Apple as some kind of proxy for the medical industry. I'm not sure what they hope to get out of this, other than raising awareness of a long-standing problem with pulse oximeters and dark skin (I certainly didn't know about it before now).
I'd say you could either just use vue + django and have use AJAX to fetch data from your Rest API of a database. Theres ways to handle auth aswell but its annoying. Or just not use vue with this project, personally I think we've overestimated how much interactivity/real time updates are needed in an MVP. I personally prefer to rewrite stuff entirely, cause there is always newer shinier solutions, but I also try to keep my projects small or scrappy because of this*

It doesn’t seem like that, they have canceled virtually all flights to and from airports unaffected by storms. They seem to have huge numbers of planes and flight crews ready to go that are just sitting idle.
FTA: "In the event of a disruption you call scheduling and they manually adjust you"

Maybe the airline industry needs AlphaScheduler deep learning with monte carlo tree search. Or stimulated annealing. These cheap short sighted stuffed suits with MBAs who think that a fat tail refers to some part of the airplane.
Wouldn't this actually be a melanin bias?
I mean at least Meta chose incredibly original filter names, such as

Juno, the ancient Roman goddess, a word in use for over 2000 years.

Clarendon, the wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarendon lists approximately 40+ different uses, from place names to typefaces.

Lark, well, do I have to add anything here?

Ludwig, uhmmm, Beethoven's estate is about to be sued?

Lo-fi: Yes I never heard of this word before in the context of photography. True originators.

Please stop the trademarking of common words and cultural heritage that belong to all of us.
I’ve never seen “omnivore” used negatively before.

Personally, I love fake-bleeding plant based impossible burger. Tastes great. Better for the planet. I am sad that vegans have decided it’s gross and wrong.
Again, it depends on how you define enslaved.

Whether that number is 1m, 500k, or 100k... who gives a fuck. It's 2022 and hundreds of thousands of people are living through modern slavery.
It may be a stalemate in the timescale of one week, but it's extremely dynamic in the larger picture.
Complete immersion has good results, but this is pseudo-immersion at best. There are schools that teach following similar methods as Lingua ... per se illustrata, and while people do get the basics, I haven't heard from anybody that reached fluency through it. Language is pretty complex, and if you start out with the wrong idea about certain aspects, without feedback, you're likely to repeat the error for the rest of your life. Vocabulary is easily corrected, since native speakers know how to, but they rarely correct grammatical errors, and seldomly know the rules. Some languages have it easier than others in this respect, of course. E.g., English has small grammar and almost no morphology.

Good feedback is important, and if there's no teacher, you can correct yourself (to a certain extent) if the text book also explains the rules.
One question I think gets to the heart of it: how would you fill your time if money were no object? I'm not talking unlimited wealth, let's say you got a UBI of more or less what you're making now. What would you do?
The one I had fail was a kingston data traveller, so YMMV. https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-128GB-Traveler-DTSE9...

It likely failed due to the nature of its transit (in my pocket, with my keys) but that's kinda the point. I think it's worth pointing out to those who haven't really investigated your "always plugged in" is the known failure of flash drives. Flash storage does has a fairly well documented write/erase cycles in the realm of like 10k-100k cycles. While the data should still be readable, its pretty easy for bad controllers and bad filesystems (most flash drives use fat32 which is a bad filesystem) to fail a write and corrupt data.

I think the main issue I have with a "do it yourself because you can't trust the cloud" mentality is that this advice usually comes from people who have done their homework as you have. It'd be dangerous to apply "just do x" advice without those conditions as it's a bit more nuanced and it can really put people in bad situations. I've seen this same thing with people who use a NAS over cloud storage and then it fails and they discover just what the monthly cost of cloud storage actually paid for. It'd be like telling home owners "just don't have a fire" and instead of paying for insurance, but not talking about the money you set aside and fire mitigation systems you invested in.
If I post something to Instagram, then I delete it, or make my profile private, will it remain available on Pixelfed? IMO, this should be the litmus test for fair use of social networks by third-party clients.
To be fair, it seems like their only option was to look like someone running stolen credit card numbers, due to how two systems outside their control worked—the work payment system that issued one card number per transaction; Amazon not letting you buy more than one ebook at a time.
It's marketed as being accurate. It's not for large segments of the population. This is clearly a serious problem (and with all pulse oximeters). How is that absurd?
All photography and lighting equipment is racially biased.
Hammers require physical materials to reproduce. (Aside: there’s nothing in current IP law that precludes a profit by the manufacturer on my physical tool design. A patented design just means I can charge for a license to manufacture my design.)

Back to digital books: how does an author get paid for writing when there’s no legal protection for his work? It costs nothing for any customer to forward along copies. Without laws to allow a temporary monopoly, the author might see a few sales. Pricing one’s time for so few sales (ergo higher prices) will inevitably encourage further free copying. In a society of capitalism, where would the motivation to create (and iterate, and hone) come from without a monopoly on copying?

If the naysayers of IP laws want to advocate for a different, non-capitalist paradigm, that’s fine. But the lack of intellectual rigor behind the “eliminate IP laws” argument isn’t everyone else’s fault when they fail to make it convincing.
Pulse Ox on watches is just a dumb feature. There's really no reason to measure that throughout the day and it kills battery almost as fast as gps.
It very much does. I just graduated with my BSCS from WGU this past July and while reading this was thinking to myself "WGU is already doing something similar to this."

Some classes do require projects + lengthy papers, others are straight final exams, and a few are a mix of the two.
> Having a digital reputation that you can taint could put people on their best behavior.

I've seen some pretty reprehensible behavior from people who put their full name and a photo of their face on Facebook.
Racism requires intent. Even if they KNEW of the discrepancy, they have to optimize towards something. Did Apple do this because they dont like black people? Going to be hard to prove that but it wouldn't be surprising if the plaintiffs gets a payout none-the-less.
So improve the documentation then so it's more clear what you're getting. Instant access to a digital version of a book, for a non-expiring rental, from an organization that could go defunct in the future. It does not have a perfect analogy in the physical world.
It’s a new term in English, too; I assume because people found ‘vegan’ off-putting? Not really sure; it turned up about a decade ago, and as the article says is poorly defined.
Gah! Of course Wunderlich didn't write the original in English, and I should've looked for the original in German.

I'm a little surprised and disappointed that the translation also translates the units, though. That seems to be stepping just outside the bounds of what I would want translated (at least, in the context of a medical journal or scientific writing).

Thanks for that correction!
Sunblock is also racially biased.

Let's call this out for what it is - some lawyer is looking for a bag.
> From my experience with editor debates this weirdly seems to be much more common than the reverse.

This reads like confirmation bias to me, and I would argue the inverse.

Otherwise, I agree with you. It’s ok that people have their own preferences.
Looks like you want to make a post-grad.
I said nothing about "privately". All our actions, private or public, are engendered by the content of our minds.
It’s just because they were developed by white males /s
Remote work has the potential to make neighborhoods more dynamic. With more people at home, there's more demand for nearby coffee shops, entertainment, food options. I prefer the decentralized neighborhood approach to the hub and spoke model where you commute to a big city from the boring suburbs.
The math is on my side. The average age of 117th Congress is 59, while the average US citizen is 38 (at the time of this being noted in 2021).
I mean, let’s assume that this problem is as simple and everything else on the ground and with scheduling works perfectly (which it isn’t and everyone here is rightly calling you out on. Ever work in an operations environment? Shit goes wrong fast).

You still have to contend with the laws of physics. AKA the speed of aircraft and distance between airports. Compound that thousands of planes making potentially cross country trips and it will take days to do what you are suggesting, leading to the same problem SWA is already facing.
Just search for (INSERT SELLER) Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q or M715q. They are great for Ceph-Clusters, disk-less stations or down-clocked pi-replacements...well just anything.

Summary: There are many studies done, but they all have data quality issues to different degrees.

In general... (my conclusion)

> Leaving your baby to cry it out is helpful for most babies.

> But it's not recommended for babies younger than 6 months.

> Some experts recommend even waiting until 12 months, because month 6-12 is critical for developing emotional regulation that occur with help of parent intervention.

> Benefit of letting baby cry it out isn't permanent. It needs to be repeated.

> By the time they're 6 years old, there was no difference.

> individual personality/temperament play large role in how the baby responds to the training.
What is even the point of measuring this at all times????
>I decided that the best response to privacy disappearing was not to become attached to it, not to rely on it. So if there was anything I was considering doing where if it became public I would be hurt, I wouldn't do it.

...and this is indeed where all this privacy destruction leads: people changing their behavior first, their words second, and finally, their thoughts.

Isn't it universally accepted that free societies breed innovation and repressive ones stagnate and wither? Isn't it clear that mass privacy violation will lead to a global repressive society?

Some form of rebellion is essential for citizens to overcome repressive societies. Repressive societies empowered by the kinds of surveillance that technology enables at scale will become nearly impossible to rebel against.

Following this train of thought, it seems that privacy destruction is potentially an existential threat to humanity.

When I came to this conclusion, I decided that my personal act of rebellion was to leave my high paying tech career to work in the non-profit space promoting peace for 1/5 the income. I have never been happier. I am doing my little part and that makes it easier to not worry about this insanity.
The vacancy rate of offices looks low because the big tech companies are still "occupying" them, but if go into many of them and they still look like ghost towns. Much more that offices in other locations.

This feels unsustainable.
No you just need to be close enough to access Wi-Fi from the device. Driving by in a car would do
How can I detect programmatically whether Windows is an N or KN version?
Luckily, no. Otherwise you (others) could hack the safeties and ask it how to cheaply kill a lot of people or so .. better not make bad people too intelligent! (Obviously not talking about you)
I think of Western doctoring (diagnosis) as running an expert system. Like a game of twenty questions. If your specific conditions aren't found in your doctor's knowledge base, too bad. Maybe try another doctor, who has different experiences, different training.

I've been lucky in that two of my doctors treated my rare conditions as mysteries, puzzles to be solved. Not much like House MD, which requires an explicit explanation. But more like "Hmmm. That didn't work. Let's try this other thing I've been reading about." Instead of summarily dismissing my experience because there was not "hit" in their knowledge base.

FWIW, in the USA, at least, the combo of fee-for-service and compensation model discourages sleuthing. (But does encourage more testing, ironically.) IMHO.
> have an obsession

I'm so tired of the condescending tone that is usually taken for granted when talking about traditional American culture. Can we please stop this? It's just a cultural difference.
Rather than it being about wanting to receive fewer notifications (I already manage what type of notifications I see) it's about hiding content from users who, for example, consistently reduce the quality of what I'm looking for in discussions.

It's not that I dislike the users per se (in fact I chat with them like normal at times by toggling the visibility of messages) it just helps focus/curate the experience, especially for some chats which get spammy.
Huh. This page makes it sound like that quote was actually describing Lutherans: https://choralnet.org/archives/592923

Apparently he has attended both Lutheran and Episcopal churches: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrison_Keillor

Where did you find the Episcopalian version of the quote?
If skin color is a factor then some group could always make this case. It's just the reality of different skin colors existing.
I think I more or less understand as well, but I have a pet peeve about people using the word "cowardice" for things they think are morally wrong. The classic example was how everyone was calling the 9/11 bombers cowardly, when clearly their actions required a certain amount of bravery. If memory serves, Bill Maher lost his show for pointing out that fact. I think people do this because they don't feel comfortable with a purely moral condemnation, so they reach for something that is also suggests weakness, a more universally despised trait.
I technically work from my Silicon Valley office - but haven't been there in two years.
And nothing in Apple's advertising or product info suggested this. I also don't think I saw anything describing this in the ToS or EULA.

The least they could do is be upfront about this.

I can confirm what this poster said about their business emails not actually getting shared around, but that spam just all goes to gmail...

1. OK

2-6. Thank you for the history of vaguely functionally competitive devices from sellers other than the defendant, but what the hell does that have to do with Apple's watch?

7-8. Also seems unrelated to Apple or Apple Watches, but rather to non-Apple fingertip devices.

9. Perhaps an alternative conclusion is "Healthcare workers probably shouldn't be [and almost certainly aren't] triaging patients of any skin color with a consumer watch."? Since they're not using Apple devices for this purpose, to any extent that they're drawing inaccurate conclusions for care based on devices which use the same underlying theory but aren't actually made by Apple, that is not Apple's responsibility.

10. It's a good thing then that healthcare workers aren't using these Apple devices to triage, direct, or prioritize care. To the extent that non-Apple healthcare workers are using non-Apple devices to improperly direct this care, that is certainly a concern, but is not Apple's concern.

11-14. Thank you for getting back to something relevant to your suit; not sure why you wasted the court's time with items 2-10.

Most prominent European composers from the last 500 years must be suffering for eternity I guess?
Is it? Apple got a FDA certification for the ECG, if that isn't for all consumers it's a problem.

On another note, the FDA handing out "certification" in addition to "approval" seems like a deliberate way to confuse consumers when one is basically a stamp for money.
There we go-- when presented with the illogical nature of your statements and inconvenient facts that are readily available with a Google search, you resort to the "Russian propaganda" trope. Even The Washington Post (PR firm for the US security state) is literally saying Russia didn't do it. Eventually, the "paper of record" will reveal which Western power did the deed in an "exclusive," when it's no longer relevant to decision-making, as they always do.

Companies get sued by random people for stuff like this all the time, I don't think there's anything here that indicates this is particularly newsworthy or exceptional. This is the same class-action lawyer who sued Kellogs for not putting enough strawberry ingredients into their strawberry poptarts: https://www.npr.org/2021/10/30/1050175655/strawberry-pop-tar.... Apparently (according to that NPR article) he files ~3 lawsuits per week
You can buy a birefringent (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birefringence) calcite crystal that are often sold at rock shops and give it a try.
Well, of course. We don't even need science to determine that humans are omnivores. Just look around - not everyone eats meat.
> However, you can compute exact letter probabilities for his rack and strategize accordingly.

I think the best programs run Monte Carlo simulations on the contents of their opponent’s rack. That includes modeling their opponent’s moves, and thus improves on just computing these probabilities.

As a simple example, if they played a move, but, if they had an ‘e’, could have made a much better move, chances are they didn’t have an ‘e’ when they made their last move, even if that, a priori, was still highly likely.
The Google TV app (at least on Android) can show where everything is, and will even link directly to it in another app if you've got it installed. You can also buy/rent things that aren't available for streaming anywhere, or even just not anywhere you're subscribed. As someone who has come to terms with having too many subscriptions and their apps installed, it works great for me.
Not sure I have seen anywhere call them anything other than "Cauliflower Wings" around here. At least not recently. I have seen a bunch of places offer "Cauliflower Steak" too. May be regional though?

The one thing I do see that seems to be "disguising" food is some "Vegan Mac & Cheese" where it tastes good but it tastes nothing like cheese. I would rather know what's actually in it.
Please help me handle a security vulnerability
In 2018 I discovered a security vulnerability and worked with both government and business to try to correct the issue. After 6 months of phone calls and emails, I opted to accept their proposed fixes and left the entire thing in the hands of the Government of Canada. My feedback was ignored entirely. I wasted ~100 hours and for that I got precisely nothing.

On December 21, 2022 I required use of the service in question and once again found a security problem. The same problem.

On December 21, 2022 I noted several pieces of evidence which indicate active exploitation of the vulnerability.

On December 21, 2022 I contacted: CBC, The business, NDP, and the OPC. To date, none of them have contacted me except for automated responses. I get that it's Christmas but over a week just to hear anything from any human from any of those organizations? Nothing.

At the most severe, the security vulnerability threatens life and limb. It impacts approximately 2,000,000 people directly and I would estimate the total impact in the 10s or 100s of millions of people. It impacts people globally.

It's causing me too much stress. If you are in a verifiable position of power in Canada, please indicate how I can get in touch with you.

Otherwise, please, any advice you have on how I can get rid of this curse without harming anyone is greatly appreciated.
It is worth noting that when I buy a physical book, I am not acquiring ownership of the text. I do not have the right to do with the text what I please (e.g. make copies & distribute). The same goes for music. The same goes for software.

What the format (digital+DRM vs. physical) makes possible is more fine grained control by the owner (or their proxy) of the work.
