> He can learn a new domain and understand its nuances so quickly that he often becomes more fluent than the company ‘domain experts’ after just a few weeks’ of effort. And no… this isn’t shallow stuff. We’re talking domain experts with Ph.Ds in EE from MIT.

I have to be very skeptical of this. If the person is so superhuman and famous, can you name them?

Nobody gets to look at a new field and quickly become a domain expert with more knowledge than those who've dedicated their life (PhD, career) to the field.

To be honest this sounds like a con artist good at talking themselves up.
I plugged my TitanRidge ThunderBolt PCIe add in card to my Framework Laptop and my 2019 MBP. It didn't charge either. I did plug my power supply in to the TitanRidge.

Very Disappointed. I was under the impression when you plug two thunderbolt devices into each other you got charging and a network connection.
DDoS attack reflected in a monthly Cloudflare email report?
It depends. For one off stuff that isn't expected to be a maintenance burden, adding an extra package step can be a higher burden.

That said, some things have a install-rpm or similar target in Makefile which can be handy.

I am reminded of the (probably apocryphal) story about a logician asking for a visa to enter the US for a conference. When he got to the question "Do you plan to overthrow the United States Government by force or violence?" he hesitated and then answered "violence".
Free enough. Especially in large enough countries the market is free enough. There is no such thing as a completely free market. But in general, and in most places, no, most employers can't conspire to dump wages. Even if it looks like conspiracy, it may be something else, like a bidding war on the supply side.

This metaphor seems backwards. Wouldn't the sub give its power to the dom?
I feel like I'm going crazy sometimes with the fake meat convos. Fake meat is fantastic and I sometimes pick it over regular meat. It's sort if its own thing in my mind, but I get way less of a carb crash from it. I dunno if that's actually caused by anything or just a placebo though.
You'd think the USB-PD spec would have devices exchange their battery capacity, charge level, and AC power state.
There is no scenario where anyone wants a 80-100Ah device like a laptop to charge from a 3-4Ah device like a phone if both are on battery. Only if the device with a small battery is on AC power should it offer anything to the larger device. So the spec should prohibit this.

Secondly you'd think for devices of comparable battery capacity they'd prioritize having the one with AC power feed the one without it. If neither have AC power then have the one with a higher charge level feed the one with a lower charge level only when the one with the lower level reaches 20% and only as much as necessary to maintain 20%. Once the system providing power hits some threshold (40%?) stop feeding power altogether. This would do what most people want when you connect two laptops or two phones: share enough power to keep the other device running but don't completely drain them.

If a "battery bank" flag is set then it should always be a supplier unless the other end is a power supply.

You can have minor quibbles about the exact numbers here but this strategy is simple and does the right thing the vast majority of the time.

Yeah, the margin was probably not wide enough.
I think they mean "test code is documentation". For example if there's a unit test that expects an error for a certain input, it serves as documentation that this kind of input is not allowed.

It not always feasible to document every little edge case in natural language and keep it in sync with your code. If you "document" edge cases as tests, they _have_ to be in sync with your code. It shouldn't replace traditional documentation though and is better suited for internal components and not for public API.

Question, due to a recent thread on an rsync-like CDC-based tool, for this problem how rsync compares to CDC?
What would be the visual representation of a 'directory'?

For me, it's 'directory' for cli, and 'folder' for gui.

Except for 'Directory Opus', it still makes sense to say 'directory'.
Of course. I’m not saying it’s good I’m describing stuff that I see widely in apps and sites I use.

3) You see a toggle switch. It is labeled “Fnurbification”. It is set to “off”.

You want fnurbification. Do you flip the switch?

As we’ve established in 1 & 2 if you know that flipping the switch won’t change the label then clearly the label describes the thing so you should flip it.

If on the other hand flipping the switch is going to change the label then we’ve established that the label probably describes the current state. Flipping it would probably change the label to something like “Disable Fnurbification” and turn it off. So you should leave it off so fnurbification remains on.

But this is your first time using this app. How do you know whether or not the label is going to change? You could toggle the switch, but what happens if the action of toggling the switch is expensive or safety-critical?

4) Let’s raise the stakes. You see a switch. It is set to off. It says “Nuclear reactor safety protocol”. You want a safe nuclear reactor don’t you? Do you switch on or leave it off?
From my experience a "superstar" programmer is either somebody with Bi-Polar (works 40 straight hours) or a scam artist. Seen that playout now many,many times. A bi-polar worker can handle insane levels of work. it's just virtually impossible to keep up with them. Family member was a bi-polar canadaian air force pilot, physicist, and clinical pathologist that graduated from McGill and software developer (punch cards all the way through to Ruby). Nobody in his profession(s) could keep up with him...The other type of superstar is the bullshit artist. They slink away and start churning out unmaintainable garbage code that management loves. Than they'll disappear and the people that get left holding the bag are ".1x" programmers...I've seen those two scenarios play out a handful of times.

> If expect to have to work 60 hours next week and then I do, should I reflect on why that's stressful?

It's not clear to why working 60 hours is stressful to you. Is it because the 60 hours is too long, or the quality of the job? If long hours is the problem, then your expectation is that you shouldn't be working 60 hours, but reality clearly says that you are, and so your stressed. If it's the quality of the job, then you're expecting the job to be something other than it is. You're purposely showing up to a place that you know will make you unhappy.

In this case, the agency you have gives you a few options to consider

- talk to management about possibly reducing hours or responsibilities

- if that doesn't work, leave and find another job with better work/life balance. You may have to accept a pay cut to get this. If your expectation is that you'll make $1M a year being a McDonalds worker, well that's another expectation not aligned with reality.

- or alternatively "accept" that is what your job is at this part of life (maybe you have crushing debts you need to pay, and so you accept doing something hard for a while to pay them off)

I personally don't mind working long hours, I've done it before, I'll do it again as work challenges come and go. As long as I feel I'm being compensated properly I'm good with it.

> Or if I'm expecting to lose my house because I don't have a job or money... Where's the stress coming from?

The stress is coming from you expecting not to be homeless, while reality is telling you that you will be. A terrible situation for sure (how did you get here?).

If you don't have friends or family that can help you get back on your feet, then your options are very limited (you can't change reality and make someone house you for free). So accepting the temporary homelessness will reduce the stress you feel. Many people choose to be homeless, so it is possible. There are homeless shelters and other programs designed to help you get back on your feet. Accept that this is part of your life moving forward and make plans to get back on your feet.

This is a hard example, but same logic applies. If you're going to be homeless then you're going to be homeless. I understand why that one is hard to accept. Not saying it's easy. But you can either be homeless and stressed because you don't want to be, or you can be homeless and find a way to make it work (live light) while you get back on your feet. I lived on my buddies couch for a month. I know a woman who was homeless as a young single mother, now works in IT. It is possible to overcome these things and put yourself back on your own two feet.

I lost my son at 16. That was very hard to accept. I'd have done anything to turn back time, but that's impossible. Some of the worst parts of life are learning to accept things outside of your control, grieving, and moving on with life. Life is for the living.

Same in Hong Kong. Recently Impossible, Beyond and (our local equivalent) OmniFoods have been introduced to almost all restaurant menus. It's died down a bit, but still quite popular. And this is the place with the highest meat consumption per capita in the world.
Large scale is not the same as industrial product. Nearly all food sold is made in large scale. But industrial means going one or more steps further. Processing food changes it. If you sell an apple, even if you harvest a million of them, means you still have an apple. But taking the apple, processing it in some oil, juice, jam and what else, means you have industrialized it, and made something new, with new problems.
Also - "Working for the Evil Overlord" is no excuse for gross incompetence. By late 1943, there seem to have been at least 4 independent communist spies inside the uber-secret Manhattan Project.

i was once sitting in coach class (never again) flying from heathrow to chicago when they handed out the visa waiver forms. for those of you that don't know, this enables people from the uk to enter the us on business or holiday, without a visa, and asks all sorts of incredibly inane questions, such as "have you ever attempted to overthrow the government of the usa by violence?", with yes/no checkboxes. the correct answer to all of them is "no".

glancing over at the idiot boy sitting next to me, who had been somewhat annoying me during the flight, i noticed that he had checked "yes" to all of them. i had a moments pleasure thinking what would happen to him once he got to immigration, but being basically a nice person, i suggested he got a new form from the cabin crew.
They aren’t the same. There is a legal distinction. They were attempting to identify the source of a document.

The general assumption is that biodegradable materials biodegrade under conditions different from regular use and storage, or over long timeframes.

Yes, versioning large files is certainly one use case that Jamsync solves (and was the original problem that caused me to develop this). More use cases are on the homepage, but I think that preventing merge conflicts could be interesting. Typically a source of merge conflicts is not pulling/rebasing frequently enough which Jamsync plans to solve by pulling in changes as they happen on the current branch and rebasing branches as changes happen on the "main" branch. This means that branches are constantly being merged and reduces the risk that you base your changes off of old code.
> Sports is the easily-understood example.

Do you have 10x players in sports? No! So it's a good counterexample.

The superstars are incrementaly better and work hard to be extremely consistent at being slightly better. That leads to becomeing a superstar because if you're consistently 0.1% faster than everyone else, you win most of the time. But 10x better? No of course not. It's not humanly possible.

Is the top track and field runner 10x faster than the middle of the pack? No, just a few fractions of a second.

Is Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton 10x faster than the tail end drivers who have to pay to play? Not even close, just a few fractions again and consistently.

Same for every line of work. There just isn't enough spread possible in human capabilities for someone to be 10x better than other professionals in the field.

(Important to note we're comparing to other professionals in the same field, not random people off the street who've never done the activity.)

I don't buy it. The FBI found his code sheet that he made, and tracked him down, and asked people about him. This is an investigation, and it's about him. The fact that they thought he was a Japanese spy simply means that they made the wrong assumption about the person they were investigating.

The illegals drugs question never made sense to me. It’s asking you to admit to something that won’t necessarily show up on a criminal background check if you haven’t ever been caught. Assuming you have been caught or are still using, other preemployment screens will catch that. So why not ask other questions like: “Have you ever murdered someone?” “Have you ever stolen?”

Alternatively, plant based meat products are doing quite well in the US. The problem is that the corporate world, being essentially incapable of moderation and self-control, banked on a quick ramp up in growth leading to economies of scale in the very short term. What went wrong was that hyped bet on quick growth. This is a common problem in the US because fast growth brings better returns especially for investors and so is more desirable than less risky slow growth.

This means there will most likely be a period of shake up in the industry which will be followed by leadership being taken up by more reasonable producers who have the capacity to tolerate modest profits and a period of relatively slow growth as the market gets a foothold.

Venture capitalists should take note of this demonstration of how growth is not the only important variable and fast growth is not always most desirable, especially with relatively new products and market segments.

The pregnancy is usually the one thing that is promptly checked when a young man fills a form as a blood donor where I live. The form is a table, most questions are yes/no with a separate column you mark with X. The pregnancy row has a twist, it's "fill if you are a women" type.

Thankfully nurses know that well, check it instantly and ask to actually read the form. Blood donations are usually fun.
I'd flip that on its head and venture to guess they can do well against most meat except the nicest stuff. It works a treat for the super low end stuff (e.g. fast food like McDonalds or Burger King). For a lot of dishes I'd cook meat is a background flavor (e.g. mapo tofu) where the nuances of super fresh ground meat would be lost and for that Impossible did well enough. The issue I had is that Impossible has a more beefy flavor when I'd typically use pork in that dish.

For the mass market high end stuff I'd expect lab grown meat to be the thing to keep an eye on because…

As long as they can bring the price down, they'll do alright
in the non-quality meat markets.

Prices are going to continue to increase for the things that go into meat production. Water. Fertilizer. Grain or grass. Depending on how things go I'd bet that the fake meat would only have to keep their costs steady to compete on price.
