Which is another reason you don't want to oversize a breaker; you can have ten, twenty two-receptacle outlets on a single circuit, and if lots of stuff was plugged in you could easily draw tens or hundreds of amps, which would melt normal Romex pretty quickly.
I’m unconvinced. I don’t see a reasonable benefit for learning yet another config syntax just to run some scripts.
GDPR requires a purpose for processing. The majority of other requirements GDPR imposes attach to the purpose, rather than the processing activity.

GDPR gives a lot of leeway in determining a purpose. But if you don't have a purpose, then the processing is unlawful regardless of literally anything else you've done or not done. Not even with valid consent of the data subject (because, guess what, consent attaches to the purpose).

So if you say "we need this data for addressing communications to the data subject," that's a purpose. On the other hand, if sex gets stored in a DB column and never used, that's a violation.

Separately, GDPR has a Data Minimization requirement: you collect data for a purpose, could you achieve that purpose with less data? This one has some flex to it. If the answer is "we could but not as well," then the data has a purpose. Maybe not a great purpose, but it's something.
Solution is pretty apparent to me: 3 weeks paid vacation + discretionary time off after that.

If companies really think discretionary is a perk and than this is zero harm.

I haven’t seen it widely reported, but Walgreens claimed they lost money due to “crime”. In financial statements they clarified that meant the several billion dollar fines they had to pay due to some combination of (1) the opioid settlements (2) illegal wage theft against their employees. Stolen merchandise wasn’t a big contributor to bottom line.

They lost money due to white collar and labor crimes, while throwing places like SF under the bus for news cycles and talking points.

SF the city challenged Walgreens on the theft issue, since the police don’t have many reported thefts from Walgreens in the city. Which is a pattern. The clothing store that was reported to close after crazy amounts of crime quietly opened its SF branch a few days later (with free Police guards and press cycles).

It's not really a plan per se; it's just a natural consequence (or emergent phenomena, if you will) of a political system where one must already be rich and connected in order to become a senator and thus affect the laws of the land. Not all countries have this problem.
Do you? Your arguments are classic whataboutism, and conspiracy/fearmongering.

The full quote is:

> "Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%."

Also this was probably in the 80ies or 90ies and was in reference to loop unrolling or hand-crafting assembly - which is kind of different to just not knowing what you are doing and writing O(n^2) algorithms for O(n) or O(log(n)) problems - due to a lack of understanding the problem which is the problem we have at the moment (not saying I'm above that, been there done that ;).

If Google can speed up std::qsort tenfold using SIMD instructions and likely other operations we should add this code everywhere imho.
Structure collapses are extremely rare, which is why they are always news. I am not unhappy with the state of regulation when it comes to building structures that have the potential to kill hundreds or thousands of people at a time.

However I think many locations in the US way overdo regulation when it comes to residential building codes. When you buy a house, you get a professional inspection. If it comes up dangerous, then you are armed with the knowledge to make a risk decision that’s right for you.

I don’t need spacecraft level engineering on my car; similarly i don’t need skyscraper level engineering on my house.
I didn't touch the wiring; just made sure to use the same exact amperage (though I bought all new breakers just in case, and upgraded one to an AFCI - Michigan doesn't require AFCI on everything as the rest of the country seems to mandate). I checked the wire with wire gauge with my wire strippers to make sure 15amp wire is never behind a 20amp breaker.
In a phrase, it's having a single "bleeding edge" for the entire company, vs 1 bleeding edge per service. Some benefits of this include:

You have one commit hash in one repo that tells you what version service/consumer X is expecting / providing.

If you want to understand why a service isn't working as expected, it's trivial to grep its implementation and contribute solutions.

As a service owner, you can grep for all places where your service's client is initialized, and update them in one PR (vs 12 PRs in 12 repos, that you have to manage independently).

Basically, it reduces the coordination cost of breaking changes.

---

You can get these benefits in a multi-repo setup only if you have adequate tooling around multi-repo PRs, code search, etc. It's not impossible, but the barrier to highly effective work is higher, imo.
She used to be 'entitled' and now she's not!

This reads like she used to get 4 weeks and now only gets about 2.5. if so, did they give her extra money for that extra time she's now at work?

I think you wanted to say "not allowed".
If there was anything to this they’d surely have exhumed the remains, Christian burial notwithstanding.
I have definitely experienced "unlimited PTO" creating a guilt-based pressure that pushed people to take limited time off, but of course pressure is applied and experienced unequally.

I have concluded that the best setup is:

- The company gives a generous (for the US) but limited number of PTO days

- Most of the company is in a state where it's ok for PTO to _not_ roll over, and the culture then normalizes using all of your PTO every year

- Ideally you work from a state where PTO _must_ be rolled over and unused days are paid out
This varies.

they're simple on the surface, until you get into the details of UTF BOMs cell escaping, handling jagged rows, and maybe a few other edges I'm failing to note right now
Now your nit picking on one thing on the list. EVs, home heat/AC, and stoves are all substantial (depending on how much you use the stove). When looked at on a macro scale there is an impact.
They are reimbursing all outstanding time when this goes into effect. So if you wanted to reduce the amount of vacation reimbursement, you probably wouldn't make this change.
The concerns are valid, but I find setting a "suggested minimum" amount of PTO (in my case, I suggest 1 week/quarter on average) and _actually taking time off yourself_ helps model better work/life balance. If you have "unlimited PTO" but the high status people never take PTO, you effectively have no PTO at all.
Sorry? What I think isn't really relevant. What I see is relevant and what I see is a lot of people making prototype hardware and small series stuff that would be very costly (sometimes impossible) to produce using any other method.

It all depends on where you are looking. You claim - fairly categorically - that 'the "makerspace" has seemingly failed to produce any sort of meaningful Renaissance in small-scale US manufacturing' but that is a complete strawman, it only works if you assume that a renaissance in smallscale US manufacturing was the original goal and that never was the case.

Makerspaces are not even a requirement to be part of the maker scene. Over the past couple of years I've seen elements of it all over industry and in series production up to several 100 units (probably a few in excess of that) of parts that you would have a pretty hard time making otherwise and with such low start-up costs. That you have an entirely different bar for success isn't an issue with the maker scene.

I don't doubt that there are people that end up making things they throw away. But if you're building custom machinery the tools from the 'makerscene' have long escaped the hobby lab and are now a mainstay in any prototyping shop. Tooling, jigs, parts, gears(!), brackets of all shapes and sizes, adapters, custom plugs, cases, scientific gear for lab setups and so on. The list of items I've seen produced with these tools is longer than I care to list here.
PTO is a liability that shows up on the balance sheet.

Four weeks is about 7% of a year. If you could make it look like (on the balance sheet) that you are not incurring that liability for all your employees, it can make some accounting things that much happier.

It does have the added bonus that you don't need to keep track of it for paying out when an employee leaves in some states (making that a consistent thing across all offices rather than a mismash that got worse with remote offices). For example, California is "Vacation is considered wages and must be paid when an employee leaves" and Oregon is "If the employee contract considers vacation to be wages, it must be paid out on separation", whereas Washington is "An employer only needs to pay out vacation if it is in the employee contract."

https://www.paycor.com/resource-center/articles/pto-payout-l...

Paying out vacation itself isn't the problem. Accumulating it, tracking it, having it on the books, and then having it as a liability is what drives the change.

You are right, it was about smashing his relationship between his dad. It wasn't about rejecting materialism at all.

> I'm not sure what US driver education has to do with it, or on what basis you consider it "woeful".

I got my driver's license in EU first (Slovenia). Then had to pass it again in USA (San Francisco).

The US test was a joke. No parallel parking portion, no highway portion, no complex intersection portion, no hill start portion (in SF!!!), no first aid portion, no ... many things were missing actually. But I did have to show hand signals!? Lol what.

The US test took 10 minutes and we drove around the block. The EU test took an hour, came with mandatory 30 hours of licensed instructor training, and the instructor had to certify on pain of losing their license that I spent at least 3 hours driving at night during training.

Nowadays the EU license, at least in Slovenia, requires passing a "stunt driving" course within 2 years of getting your license. It's been decided knowing how to control a skid in icy/snowy conditions is mandatory, for example.

> a lot of them seem not only non-intuitive but also inconsistent

There is a visual language you have to learn as part of the licensing process. You spend about 5 hours of classroom instruction before even getting your permit to start learning how to drive. There is a logic behind how the signs are structured and you don't have to memorize.

Different countries do use different signs but the iconography is very similar for the most part.

> The top priority while driving is clarity in messaging, not economy of space

I find the EU signs faster to recognize because pictograms are easy. I've got most US signs memorized by now so they work like pictograms. But when you do have to read the sign, takes a lot of attention away from driving imo.
No, I think you are misunderstanding the parenthetical claim. They are still benchmarking the actual reimplementation, they are just parenthetically pointing out that the reimplementations are being called from Swift, not Obj-C.

The reimplementation itself is 1.5x to 18x. They are using the parenthetical in precisely the way the style and usage guide suggests, adding the additional information that the new implementation is called from Swift.
Yeah, this feels a lot like saying "My god, people, stop using telephones! Facetime has video! And the bitrate! It's a million times higher! It's 2023, why would anyone use a POTS call?!" Sure, nicer technical specs are...nice, but they're a far, far second to solving a problem.

In an sms world:

Problem: I need to contact a new acquaintance.

Solution: Exchange phone numbers because everyone has them. Text. Or call.

In a post-sms world:

Problem: I need to contact a new acquaintance.

Solution? Talk about messaging apps. Find the intersection of the ones you both use. Rank by favorite if it's not an empty set, then decide on the relative merits of choosing one in the middle of both your lists, otherwise attempt evangelism. Following evangelism, regress to "Yeah, admittedly the UI has some quirks -- here's how you do <thing you want to do>."

Unfortunately, tech bro progress-at-all-costs featurejerking very often leaves a very large number of people out of the party. The elderly. The impoverished. etc. Despite the corporate mantra of all features all the time, we can actually elect to take old things and make them better instead of inventing the new hot thing all the time.
Why are you conflating interpersonal racism with systemic? Both exist. If a white person is racist towards a black person do you call that racial bias? If you do, you are just replacing the established definition of racism, not addressing the phenomenon itself.
Ineptitude is high on the list. But I would put misaligned incentives pretty high on the list of reasons too. So many executives make decisions that make sense for their bottom line but that may not be good for the company and shareholders long-term. Same goes for the directors. Who cares if you create a long lasting, stable company when you could just win the lottery now, cash out and move on to another conquest.
I disagree. Sure, we use our phones more and more and expect an increasing number of apps to work on them, but sometimes we arrive at a site that we understand can't really provide meaningful usability on mobile. A complex architecture diagramming tool is something I expect to dig into on my desktop. Perhaps some functionality could be optimized to work on mobile or, at the very least, the app should recognize you're mobile and not just crap out, if only to say "You should open this in a desktop browser." But I really don't see the use case for casually browsing an architecture that explains how my VPC connects to the IGW and NATGW and which private subnet my foobar is deployed into. And if for some reason I do arrive at that diagram, I kind of expect it to be a less-than-ideal situation on mobile.
In a bit of irony, when my last company did this, we all had a conspiracy theory that the goal was to reduce the cost of the layoff. As it turns out, there was a layoff a few months after the change, but the company paid out all of the PTO that people had previously accrued.
That's simply untrue. Tens or hundreds of millions of people in Europe still use SMS, for messaging.

If you're trying to say X% of people under the age of Y tend to use WhatsApp(iMessage/IG/SC/Telegram/Signal) for messaging, then what are X and Y? and in which European countries (it varies).

I did all the wiring in my basement (except connecting to the panel), and the inspector did a cursory inspection, both rough-in and final. He looked at maybe two of the outlets (none of the lighting fixtures), and then on final just used a receptacle checker. Now as a DIYer with OCD and a fear of burning down my house, I had tried to be VERY careful, but it was the first electrical work I had done. Either I'm an electrical prodigy or he was lackadaisical.

Sure. I am trying to limit my comments to the value of 3D printers in the consumer space since I know they are not without their applications.
I generally find shell/npm scripts work until you get to the few cases that actually benefit from the dependency management and then you wish you'd just given in to .PHONY, no matter how inelegant it may be.

This was my understanding too, but I believe the wording in their (Apple's) whitepaper is unclear now. See this comment chain on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33900004 , with the relevant bit being If two-factor authentication is enabled for the user’s account, the device passcode is used to recover an escrowed keychain. (https://support.apple.com/guide/security/secure-icloud-keych...). I think there must be some misunderstanding here because I can't believe a PIN would be stored by itself, hashed or not, off-device.

Interesting that 1Password switched to GCM. They were previously using CBC with E-t-M HMAC-SHA256.

> Any “amateur” is allowed to do the work anytime they want (on their own home)

This is not true across all US states, let alone other countries.

I currently live in a jurisdiction that does allow home owners to do their own electrical work, but they have to pass a (demanding) exam before being licensed to do so. In my previous home state, home owners were not allowed - even if you did the work, a licensed electrician had to be "seen to be responsible".
Is this 4 weeks total of vacation, or a single 4-week vacation. Most places I've worked have required some kind of approval for taking 4+ weeks off at once.

> they were closer to 3' above vs 2' above

I have to imagine that they were over 3' above, probably closer to 4'. Standard counter height is 36 inches, and 36 more inches only gets you to 6'. That's very low for something that would actually stick out farther than the front of the stove. Sounds like a headache.
It happened last time on a nearly identical itinerary. First flight was late. Missed connection. Landed at second airport too late for the bus (military to base where my car was parked). Had to spend night in hotel waiting for bus the following day.

Time before that, I arrived on time but my bag did not. Had to wait at airport for six hours for bag. Missed bus. Hotel. Bus the following day.
How does it compare to fast.ai? As a engineer looking to learn, what should I start with?
>I'm disappointed that nearly a decade of the "makerspace" has seemingly failed to produce any sort of meaningful Renaissance in small-scale US manufacturing.

In my opinion, this is one aspect of the modern "rise of the novice". By this I mean, people acquiring just enough knowledge of tools and techniques to make cool-looking stuff, but not enough to make meaningful or useful advances.
I suppose that's not very clear. Somebody built a (very special) product packaging line. The people who built it moved on. There were still engineers doing maintenance (level 1), but changes to the control system (level 2 in the Purdue Model) were almost nonexistent.

Once the line was built, the meat moved in to operate it. In fact, the meat had standups: it was the first time I ever experienced a standup (and I wasn't meat, so I wasn't invited to speak unless I submitted an agenda item ahead of time).

The meat knew how to operate the line (and operate it safely). Although the culture of safety and quality was everywhere, the operational practicalities had been lost at the control system level: the meat were the experts, and we asked them questions a lot. But nobody asked questions about how to run the line, because nobody was going to change that ever!

So those were the kinds of questions I asked the meat and the level 1 engineers in order to construct an end-to-end simulation in the lab. It created a relatively safe shared environment where people could perform experiments and test their understanding of how things worked and appeared to work at the different levels.

The level 1 engineers were a pretty easy sell and helped a lot. The meat were generally willing to answer questions, and moved in once they could see it working. I actually authored the SOP by typing up HTML docs in Notepad on a file share. HTML was a new thing for them.
I get what you're saying but the UI and UX of email is a wreck and a half even with a good client.

And simple-but-powerful applications like messaging should appeal to the lowest common denominator if they want to be effective and usable.
It's also dramatically more efficient and safe to have a quickly readable visual symbol. Maybe that's just my opinion but it seems reasonable to assume it factored into the design.
Is this your answer to the chicken and the egg question?
Wholly unsurprising. I'm sure lots of outlets are doing this, maybe using GAN-generated faces as well. We already had an epidemic of shitty content farming and now they're just shifting to automated production.
Then the fuse would blow, right?
Hi there! I'm the OP. Just trying to share my story. Not automated! Sorry if it came across as spammy.
Are you talking about the pre-model T ones ? (But then the first Porsche was electric and overwhelmingly won a race ??)

It is true that gender is distinct from sex. But "Physiological sex", "Gametic sex", and "Chromosomal sex" are all the same thing. chromosomal disorders are not distinct sexes. Klinefelter males are still males, despite an extra X chromosome. Nor are Jacobs syndrome, Turner syndrome, etc. If a layperson saw a Turner syndrome female lying on a slab in a morgue, they would have zero problem identifying the body as female. These disorders often impair gamete production, but they're still the same sex. Likewise menopause does not change someone's sex. "Gametic sex" is redundant: sex determines gametes produced. Going through menopause or dropping sperm counts is not changing one's sex. When biologists say that sex corresponds to gametes produced, it's implying that it also encompasses "has produced in the past". A woman going through menopause continues to be female.
