As a trans person I hate all half-assed inclusion measures, on top of the fact if I point this stuff out I sound like one of the 'bad ones'. It just made everything confusing whether it is asking for sex or gender. Medical stuff sure I'll disclose everything cause it's relevant to me getting good service. However, there are so many companies that want to just obviously use the info for ad revenue... What features are you bringing me that are improved cause you know my sex? What features are you bringing me that are improved cause you know I'm trans?
Most of the time in the US race means skin color. Which is somewhat ironic for a society so attached to Martin Luther King’s Jr. values.
I agree that copyright as it exists today is ridiculous, but a complete lack of copyright would destroy a large number of industries that currently exist, and for little benefit.

I'm all for pulling things back to the terms originally in place in the US, for example, despite the changes that would bring to society. But the answers to the questions asked still seemed pretty clear.
Standard non-metallic 8 gauge wire is only allowed to handle 40 amps. If you want to put 50 amps to the outlet you need more expensive wire (most likely 6 gauge, but there are other forms of 8 gauge that are approved for 50 amps). Since most stoves only need 40 amps electricians will run non-metallic 8 gauge by default and put a 40 amp breaker on it - then since there isn't such a thing as a 40 amp outlet they have a 50 amp outlet on the other end.
400V between phases, 230V phase to neutral. Most homes have single phase though.
They highlight bad appliance design especially hard, while also being somewhat difficult to pinpoint due to the design of many electrical systems.

Arc detection is also basically somewhat complex RF processing, so there are multiple approaches to it and implementations vary.

Plus (detected) arcs are common with for example brushed motors.

Maybe there's something else the person you replied to would like to highlight, but I wouldn't call them a money grab, just made difficult due to some past choices.
Yes, the bullwhip effect is caused by uncertainty across coupled tasks. A plan that doesn't reduce and manage uncertainty is bad. Not having a plan means there is uncertainty even when all of the information is there to determine the answer. The empire state building had a plan for obtaining steel from foundries at the velocity they needed.

If one defines plan to mean "We schedule everything up front and then stick our fingers in our ears and say 'la la la la' when reality conflicts with our imagined schedule" then of course plans are bad. Similarly if one were to define agile as "a system that is incapable of delivering any feature that takes more than 2-4 weeks to develop" then agile would be bad too.
This is the correct answer. There is no one answer that works for every use case. Asking this on a clothing website is much different than on a dating website which is much different than asking it at a doctors office.

I have a few reasons to believe the wires we have today aren't enough

1) I was recently talking with someone who lives in a community where homes have 60A service. The homes and last mile in places like that can't handle the draw people will need to electrify everything. 60A isn't enough.

2) Where I live there has been work to upgrade the wiring because it's not enough. It's not done yet and other communities I've been to have not been upgraded, yet. There are still areas where the current traveling through the lines today causes enough sag that I wait for something to break when things are at their peak.

3) Publications and communications from some power companies cover the need to upgrade the grid. Are they lying?
would you mind sharing a link to that resource. Is there a union rate webpage or something of the like where you can dial in your region and type of work etc like an online calculator or is there just some table printed somewhere online?

The WSJ editorial was in response to the flood of mainstream coverage about the administration's announcement yesterday. I knew it was an editorial when I linked it and it should be obvious to anyone who reads it. Is there any question about the facts of the administration's policy statement?
You're wrong. There are massive 3D printing farms that are producing consumer products at scale in the united states now, and that is a direct result of the work that the maker community (both here and especially in China) has done on 3D printing.
This is the way I see it, too. It speaks to someone's attention to detail. If you are going to use "there," "their," and "they're" carelessly or interchangeably, or "your" and "you're," or "than" and "then," what else are you going to do carelessly on the job?
> Would that mediator be another app?

Yes!

It is an app that might not even have any model classes. But it will contain business logic. And it will probably speak domain language, which is great.

If you're lucky, those two other apps will become pluggable. You will probably never replace them, but separation of concerns is always nice.

The downside of course is that you will have 3 apps instead of 1. That's the balance you have to maintain.
I've been tinkering with Emacs Lisp for a little bit. I notice some package authors use cl-* macros.. is it worth going in that direction?

> Would people here take a 10% pay cut if it meant their colleagues weren’t fired?

I knew a few people who went through this at the beginning of covid.

One case, a friend had just been hired in Feb 2020. March/April, everything went sideways. May, they announced a 10% pay cut to everyone (owners may have taken larger cut), with promise to get back to original pay by end of 2021. That seems a long time, but at the time of that plan, there were just so many unknowns.

They did end up getting rid of a couple of folks later in 2020, but they were sort of 'on the cards' before covid, and they weren't wanting to fire folks right as this pandemic was starting. Small company (~50 people, IIRC) and it just felt too personal at the start of the pandemic.

They also got everyone back to original pay by Q2 2021 - ahead of schedule.

Other was family member - CFO-level. Company had everyone take 10% pay cut - SVP and C-suite took 30% cut. They rode that out for more than a year, and I think got 'back' to early 2020 levels by end of 2021.

Neither of those are great options, but we had a pretty big global problem going on that few could escape.

Would I do it? If I knew it was 10% across the board (and/or even more for C-level), yes, I'd support that sort of a move, to prevent layoffs. I would also like to know the timeline that was in place.

I freelance, and early 2021, a client 'slowed' down work. I'd been ~20/hrs/week - that go reduced to ~5, but... there was no communication (to me) about expected timeline. Had I known it was only scheduled for a quarter, I would have relaxed a bit. I didn't, and took on other work, then initial client ramped back up and I was... overwhelmed. A bit of communication goes a long way.

CloudTrail + Lambda is a good way to create automations in AWS! Great idea for a future setup option, especially for companies that don't use GitHub.

Here are some reasons we think GitHub + Terraform IaaC is a good approach:

1. One benefit of doing tagging in the infrastructure as code is that it creates visibility for engineering teams that use the IaaC as source of truth.

2. In our experience GitHub provides a natural segmentation for how resources could be tagged - it creates an efficient mapping of your tagging to resources based on being part of different GitHub repos.

3. CloudTrail is AWS specific. In the future we plan on expanding integration to Azure and GCP which would allow consistent tagging across all clouds from this centralized Catalog. We created a developer API to fetch the tagging which could be referenced in the Lambda you're referencing.
Following that reasoning, the C standard library would _never_ be able to add another function (or macro, or struct, or...).

There are several desktop images but various issues reported from no display output, to only 1080p supported. To this image or that one working.

I'm guessing he was talking about DIY. It's not really that hard, I did it in the 3 circuits in my garage. I'm no pro, although I'm fairly knowledgeable in electronics and electricity.
> Layoffs literally kill people, he said.

In the USA. It stresses people because they suddenly lose their health care and income with no safety net. In most civilized countries, it's far less stressful because the employee knows they can still get health care, they can still get food, they probably won't lose their home, etc.
My understanding is a GFCI is an American term for an RCD or an RCBO?

My (UK) fridge is on a standard 30A breaker which itself comes off a single 80A/30mA RCD which was presumably part of the regs at one point. It's never tripped. All the RCBOs I've seen are 30mA too.

(I have some sockets on a 10A breaker downstream of this which have tripped - the house needs a total rewire, total bunch of bodge jobs from the previous owner, including a 13A socket in the bathroom)

Does a GFCI typically have a lower trip that 30mA?
If Uber can't make the economics work with an assload of venture capital to be able to take huge losses, how would a (presumably?) less well funded competitor succeed? Uber too big/slow to adopt the second-comer's strategy?
So this in interesting approach when a model-free algorithm would try to learn a simulator (state->state transition model).

Regulation only of commerce between states, not regulation of every single product under the guise that people might want to buy it across state lines.

That means that if a local farmer wants to sell hyper-organic meat that doesn't have certain USDA-mandated chemicals, they should be allowed to as long as they don't export it across state lines.

That also means that if Pfizer wants to make a drug in my state and sell it here, I don't want the FDA involved. I'll take the bad with the good.

While we're at it, I don't see anything in the constitution about banning Marijuana either, I think they do that under the modern reading of the commerce clause too.
Compared to 2001 & 2008, the 2020 recession was a blip on the radar. I graduated high school in 2009. My entire adult life to this point has been in a prosperous economy. COVID felt "different" (it was a pandemic, 100 year event kind of thing) to now. These layoffs have me worried for my family and what it could mean for our future.
Cool to see games made with Lisp, I bought it =)

What did people think was going to happen? A 5G tower only has a 500 meter range. It was never going to be about blanketing America in Wi-Fi.

The most important use case was to add additional capacity in dense urban areas. Or like, Stadiums where 100k phones can all sap the network at once.
What would be correct, though? I don't think "It's not important" is really a satisfactory answer. There are many scenarios in which a site might want to personalize content for a voluntarily submitted gender preference. One example might be a site for people who want to have a sexual relationship with someone else.

Eh - sorry. I worked with both engineering and physics professors and PhD students when I was in grad school. Everything the top comment says about climate science applies equally well to those disciplines (in academia).

It's not because climate science folks are less rigorous, or less capable. It's because academia indirectly punishes those who do care about SW quality and correctness.
> The issues usually boil down to some combination of "business logic is too coupled to the data model" and "this method lives at an intersection of these two models and creates weird dependency problems".

Refactor is not a dirty word. The problems you are describing seem to be more of the nature of having too many things concentrated at specific model classes, and that this model should be decomposed, broken down. This is not a Django-specific issue.
Are you working on something like that?
Wow! Yeah, skilled trades are not cheap in the sf area. Also, restaurants and houses. Groceries used to be far more expensive than the rest of the country but my recent visits to family in the Midwest have me thinking they have almost caught up on that one.

We aren't talking about heat and AC. We also need to cover EVs, electric tools (like chainsaws), electric heat, electric stoves, and other things. There is a push to electrify all the things.
Knowing the gender is necessary to produce grammatical sentences in many languages.

Most of these questions are about identities that have sometimes been discriminated against (intentionally or unintentionally). The reason for asking is to make sure that the process is reaching the people it's supposed to. Like, if you're running a vaccine clinic that is intended for everyone, but women don't feel comfortable going there, you'd like know that's happening so you can dig into why.

As people have mentioned, this applies to hiring -- but at the top of the funnel in who your posts are reaching/motivating, not just at the end for diversity stats.
Your tutorials are effective and concise. Thank you for them! Accessible, from-scratch knowledge on these topics is essential at this time in history and you're really making a dent in that problem.

Sorry but this Forbes article is simply frustratingly wrong. So many people are deficient in Vitamin D. Of course it's preferable to take in 15 minutes of sunlight with exposed skin every day but that's not an option for most people. I can share 2 scientific studies (not Forbes) showing how there was an inverse relationship between covid mortality and vitamin-d levels.

I understand that something being "linked" to something is not a concrete recommendation to take a supplement, but the risks are very low, and the benefit is very high in my opinion, based on this research.
Some theories are easily testable. For instance, ask it to write some code to efficiently solve traveling salesman problems, and then test the code on some sample problems. You can score the quality of solutions and time taken, and manually inspect the best ones.

I also hold this unpopular opinion : the maker movement has ultimately failed.

I am not fully certain why, but think social factors are partly to blame. What I saw (in the UK) was that the new generation of middle-class, hobbyist makers weren't interested in engaging with and learning from the historical, working-class manufacturing sector.
Show HN: Dropbase – Stage prod tables to enable ops teams to safely make edits
Hey HN, we’re building a safe and collaborative way to edit data in your prod database. With Dropbase, a db admin can stage a prod table so that an ops/business team can edit it using a spreadsheet-like interface.

The main difference in our approach is that you can easily add custom validation rules to enforce app-level data validations. After edits are made, changes can be safely merged into prod on demand!

Think of it as a spreadsheet + custom data validation + git for your prod tables.

We believe this could replace the need to (re)build admin panels or internal tools for a significant number of use cases.

Check the demo video in the link and let us know what you think. If you’d like early access, please reach out. We’ll prioritize users with prod Postgres databases.

We’d love your feedback!
- Do you experience problems getting/editing data from business users into prod dbs? How you solve them today?
- Would you be comfortable in opening up some of your prod tables this way?
- Also, we’re trying to find a name for this kind of product instead of calling it a spreadsheet+validation+git. Open to suggestions!
I do wonder if there's less murders of cashiers if they're women than men at least.
I was in the same situation about 5 years ago. The job was not only unfulfilling but also stressful, with a boss who was incompetent and bad with people.

I quit without a new job to switch to. I had sufficient savings that I wouldn't NEED a new job for close to a year, but it was still scary.

After about 2 weeks of decompressing and regaining sanity, I was in a good state of mind to apply for new jobs. I applied for about 20 jobs, got around 5 interviews, and got an offer that was pretty good and I took it. I've been with the same job since.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend this approach to those who don't have savings to rely on. It's hard to know how long it'll take to get a new job. And the more savings you have, the longer you can hold out for better offers.

I had over 13 years software development experience in web tech and cloud computing, so I wasn't worried about whether or not my skills would be in demand. People with less experience might not be able to get a job as readily.

It worked out for me, but I only did it because my mental state was so poor. Looking back, I should have tried to take time off from work to both get better mentally, and start searching for a new job.

For healthcare, I think it makes a lot of sense, as diseases affect different genders differently. Also, those with certain sexual orientations are more prone to certain diseases. It's crucial to understand someone's gender, sexual activity, and even race to give them proper healthcare.
My understanding is that asking the sexual orientation question is illegal at least in some states. Personally never been asked that by any employer in CA.
So which report makes an organization less racist:

Org A) 10% of applicants are brown, 9% of hires are brown

Org B) 10% of applicants are brown, 0% of hires are brown

Org A might be close enough to a rounding error you can call it good. Org B likely has some issues.

It's unfortunate POSIX didn't adopt a similar convention for its reservations, like a psx_ suffix for its namespace. But I guess with POSIX it was more ratifying established *NIX things as a standard they could all easily agree on without too much disruption.

These corporations all blindly overhired in the years prior because they just went along with Fed policies even though every financial news outlet in the world was saying more money has been printed than decades back put together. Surely that is a sign of groupthink and not thinking ahead.

I've discovered that for some people, they will feel ignored by not asking their gender identity, or at least their pronouns. Things feel more inclusive to them when they are able to register their identity, even if it's not used by anything in the app. A coworker put it this way: "We want to be celebrated, not ignored"
> Is there any question about the facts of the administration's policy statement?

Yes, there is; there wasn't a policy statement.

The usual suspects are now trying to turn it into the next culture war battle.
