The part that isn't visible by reading a simple one-line comment describing the interaction is the reality of dealing with patients in almost any kind of practice. I cannot properly convey the experience here. For one, I am just an observer. Here are a few points that seem to come up with some frequency during our "How was your day?" conversations:

Patients, just like doctors and engineers, are in a range between good and horrible. Some work with the doctor, follow directions, take the medicine/treatment and make progress. Others are the opposite, they keep coming back with the same issues (and often more) and, when interrogated, doctors discover they completely ignored (or worse, modified) what they where told to do. This kind of thing is truly frustrating. To put it in CS terms, imagine telling a junior developer how to fix a problem that has been compromising a codebase, only to discover, a month later, that the developer ignored your advice and decide to change variable names instead, because an article on the web said short variable names are better. Bullshit example, yet not too far from medical reality sometimes.

At the extreme are patients who are uninformed, rude, entitled and combative. It seems my wife comes home rattled once every couple of months after having to deal with a complete asshole who ruined her day.

With regards to information, yes, of course, she absolutely prefers informed patients. Why? Because those often turn out to be the good patients she can really help. The "Your google search..." comment isn't a universal statement delivered to anyone who says "I read on the web...". No, that isn't the case at all. She tells me patients do come-in who have done their homework and contribute valuable information to the process. These patients are actively engaged in the process.

There's a vast difference between being informed and engaged in what's going on and reading a few things in social media and actually thinking you know what you are talking about. People insisting on getting antibiotics for just-about everything is one example of this.

Those who receive and deserve the put-down are zero-effort, zero-knowledge patients who, after having read something on the web --which is often irrelevant or way out there-- come to the doctor absolutely convinced that is THE way to handle whatever it is might ail them. These patients are often in the combative, arrogant, rude category. The often require what my wife calls "The New York attitude" treatment. In other words, you have to forcefully (not physically, of course) assert yourself or you can't help them.

As an example, imagine someone coming in asking for a prescription to some ridiculous medicine to be protected from COVID and, at the same time, refuse to get vaccinated because they believe the government injects you with microscopic radio transmitters that track you. Yes, this is an extreme example, of course, however, it is hard for someone not dealing with dozens of patients a day to imagine the range of situations a doctor encounters on a daily basis.
So too have some clients (e.g. rbw CLI). So just need an independent browser extension and then my use of Bitwarden does not need Bitwarden LLC (and the browser extension is not great, so that's not a high bar)
I'm like 90% sure that's on Spotify. Apple opened up APIs to do this and Spotify refused to do it because... reasons.

> OpenAi paid Sama $12/hr for the work and they in turn paid their employees $2/hr.

This kind of shit really boils my piss.

I did extra work on the Alexander movie in Morocco. There was a pay disparity between what the local production company were paying Westerners vs what they paid locals [1]. I'm almost 100% sure the production company paying the local company would have been paying the same price for both.

[1] - this isn't even the half of what was wrong with the situation; they were filming during Ramadan, so the locals couldn't eat/drink/smoke anything during the daylight hours and made to stand around in the blazing sun. One old lady fainted. The production company asked the Westerners to please try and keep out of sight whilst drinking/eating/smoking between takes, but then at the same time telling us we can't move from our spots lest we break continuity. Towards the end of filming it almost turned into a riot due to the bad treatment of the locals. Total joke.
Why? It's 1.2% of Amazon's workforce, which is basically nothing.
So are they layoffs or just natural reduction of staff count? Layoffs implies force and paying compensation (depending on state / country).
For my personal passwords and general secure info (it can store notes, files, and TOTP as well), KeePass(XC/DX) has been my password manager of choice. Nothing leaves your device. If you want it to, that's considered out-of-scope, and you have to handle syncing yourself. Whether that be something like Nextcloud, or my personal favorite: Syncthing.
that varies per developer preference and per development environment, hence why it can't be generalized

it's custom to every user and every development environment

It can probably be configured by someone in your company as a docker image you can run, but usually that's only necessary for large teams where IT is provisioning development laptops and there's a lot of consistency and common dependencies, even then I don't see it being worth the effort as those preferences would still vary across team roles and projects.
Aren’t you supposed to have your personal Bitwarden account and get work passwords shared to your account? I thought that’s how Bitwarden for organisations worked.
It took them until 2017 to be able to make a fully homegrown ballpoint pen: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/01/18...

Yes it is Chinese junk if it is junk and manufactured in China - they have created an entirely new economy just for this stuff.

And "xenophobic" is just a nicer way to call someone racist. It was a smart move on China's behalf to produce this junk, they have most of the world's manufacturing.
CNET Is Reviewing the Accuracy of All Its AI-Written Articles
Well, trying to answer means trying to answer: highlight an approach, try to make a dent, show work even if it doesn't lead you to the final result.

> I generally try to think about a problem before actually, you know, writing stuff down. I can obviously think a lot faster than I can write, so writing down potential approaches when I can't quite see a way to advance from them - or for which I already know that they are wrong - is not really viable.

You are thinking about too simple of a problem.

Any moderatly complex problem won't fit in your head. The traditional approach is to find a path towards what you want to prove, highlight the main lemma and start working on them in order if you can but working backward is fine if you find that easier.

> Giving exam questions for where there isn't a reasonably reachable answer derivable from the taught material is quite cruel.

Life isn't fed to you piece by piece nor is it easy. Advanced questions are hard. That's the point.
> recruitment, management, strategy, etc

This is all objectively easier and less skillful than your co-workers work. For example, if you recruit wrong.. the company will just fire all those people (as demonstrated by X number of companies in recent months). There will likely be no short term or long term repercussion for you unless you're one of the people fired.

For strategy, if you strategize wrong it is probably contained within a product or section of the company. I doubt you could tank the whole big tech company you work for. You'll just move on to a different project.

Sounds like you're making big money to show up to meetings.
There was a request (foia/woo) made to obtain source code for frontend and backend. The latter is still being considered to be released as well.
> Does private employer insurance not have the same limitations?

Yes, but insurance sold to private employers is a completely different market, and it is almost universally better than the insurance plans available on the exchanges.
It appears any important strings have been replaced with 'S' characters.

So you definitely can't use this unless you pull the strings from the compiled APK theyve published.
> frame pointer omission made sense on the severely register-starved i386

For those who lack the context: 32-bit x86 uses only 3 bits for the register specification, so it can address only 8 general-purpose registers. Of these, one is reserved for the stack pointer, leaving only 7 general-purpose registers available, or 6 if you reserve one of them for the frame pointer.

For 64-bit x86, AMD added one extra register specification bit on a prefix byte, so at the cost of an extra instruction byte, the instruction can address an extra 8 general-purpose registers, for a total of 15 plus the stack pointer, or 14 if you also reserve the frame pointer. That is: on 64-bit x86, you have with frame pointers twice as many available registers as 32-bit x86 has without frame pointers. And these registers are double the size, so a 64-bit variable which needs two registers on 32-bit x86 needs only one register on 64-bit x86, so the effect can be more than just a doubling.

And then you have 64-bit ARM, which uses five bits for the register specification... (32-bit ARM already used four bits, so it was never as register-starved as 32-bit x86; and RISC-V uses five bits for both 32-bit and 64-bit.)

I don't think getting rid of frame pointer omission would be viable if Fedora still supported 32-bit x86. Once they got rid of most of that compatibility (there are still 32-bit compatibility libraries, necessary only for some old binary-only code and for Wine, and I believe Wine will sooner or later not need them anymore), making this change became more acceptable.
Left a career-track government job in my mid-20s and took a decent pay-cut to take a senior role at a nonprofit I was fascinated with. Did that for about three years before my wife and I decided we could use some more cash and now I'm back in a manual labor role (that's a technical writer joke) for a gov. contractor. Glad I did the nonprofit management thing while I could, but happy to knuckle down and write for a while.
Gimp is an interesting example as it’s been used successfully as a platform for other commercial projects like Pixelmator, maybe ReactOS will be the seed of something else.
Microsoft to Cut 10,000 Jobs
Any privacy benefits from Apple are mostly nominal. They are a giant corporation beholden to shareholders, that sells ads and collects user information, and works with the government providing said data. They may have marginally better policies but they are still in the same ballpark with Google rather than true privacy products that don't connect to the cloud or self-hosted.

Edit: for those downvoting, don't fall for the marketing hype. This isn't a conspiracy - the evidence is out in the open.

I did and do the exact same thing!

Except it's still a grind and I haven't experienced any compounding luck. Just exercises in endless nail pulling.

Is it possible that you just... Got lucky?
Here is the secret seed to access my crypto wallet
Hello, the following is the secret seed to access one of my Solana accounts, it has a positive balance, it was encrypted using a tool I created (Github-0ut0flin3/fileghost)
I'd be really surprised if anyone could access the original seed and then post it in one of these comments. good luck!

CMake has an independent module resolution system with Find*.cmake files. It's not great, and not a lot of libraries support it, but if you're on a Linux system you may find those Find*.cmake files in /usr/lib/cmake.
This is more or less how it works, yes.
That would be cool, they could leverage Flatpak I'd imagine, if didn't want to manage a distro as well as ReactOS. Just a very minimal shim to provide linuxy stuff.
Fortunately you don’t get to dictate what others spend their free time on.
It's the usual - be as employable as you can, search for a job, apply, interview, get hired. I don't think that you need to do anything special just because the market is worse. When you start applying you'll find out how difficult the market is for you specifically (given your education, location, field etc), and you can adjust your expectations from there if you need to.

Maybe startups specifically look worse than other companies right now? But I never got the appeal of startups anyway (more likely lower pay, less stability, more likely to have poor work life balance and have to deal with inexperienced management).
I find the quality for frontend masters to be extremely high, over the last 4 years they've gotten workshops from people working at Netflix, Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Amazon; while some of the courses have a short shelf life due to versioning issues of tech they are discussing/teaching, I tend to watch all of them when they get released.

Compare this to pluralsight, which I feel like 80% of the courses are just regurgitating the documentation back to the user very poorly, or udemy that whose courses are typically stretch to 20-40 hours when they topic barely warrants 4 hours (see any frontend course).

I like educative.io because they are the best interview prep site out there IMO, I also enjoy some of their specific topics outside of interview prep (devops, concurrency, threading, etc); what's nice about educative.io is that it's all text based, I read way faster than I can watch. Also helps that they had a really good discount a few years ago that I'm still using (something like 3 or 4 years for the price of a single year).

O'reilly is great because, as I stated elsewhere, they have an enormous collection of books not just from O'Reilly but Packt Publishing, Manning, Apress, No Starch Press; they also have decent video courses from the same publishers as well.

There are very few technical books I'm willing to buy a physical copy of, I don't live in a large space so I have limited area for the books I do have, I do however like reading technical books. I'm also grandfathered in at a previous price point, so I feel like I'm "forced" to get my moneys worth. So reading 12-15 books is the "worth it" spot for me.
> Without that context the fact is useless and misrepresents reality.

I don't think that this is necessarily true.

The hypothetical fact in question- "At a certain point in history, Jewish people were overrepresented in finance" doesn't imply any bias. If this was a response provided by an AI it would be working as well as an encyclopedia or a history book, especially if the user asked for a concise answer. The computer didn't cause harm, the reader didn't cause harm, the language is neutral and to the point. The user has agency and can ask follow up questions.

The people assuming that the reader needs curated "context" are themselves biased. It's manipulative in the same way that voice assistants like Alexa try to manipulate you, for example, when you ask it to turn off the lights, it then volunteers "context" about how easy it is to buy products on Amazon.
I took a lower salary and title for the chance to work at a small company with a great culture I admired that couldn't afford more, having been exhausted of working for big corporations where there was a lot of bureaucracy.

They almost immediately got acquired and it turned into the same old big company bureaucracy over again. My tradeoff was in vain.

If I had to do it again, I still don't know if I'd do it differently though. You really never know how things are going to turn out. Every choice is a risk either way.
Friends don't let friends use JSON in their data lakes
Sorry, I think we're talking cross purposes somewhat. I don't think that what you've described is in of itself harmful, and I don't think I've made that claim. I do think that the language used in the original tweet does a bad job of "redirecting emotional responses" because it doesn't give the person a meaningful, useful task, nor is it even particularly pro-social. Whereas in the anecdote given in the article, the author was given a meaningful task to do, and was able to learn from that.
Not a conspiracy. Doesn’t seem like BP conspired with other petroleum groups to come up with it.

More like “there is a sense that people are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with this global warming thing… since it would be very disruptive to our operations to have regulatory bodies come in (by way of pressure from their constituents), let’s show that we care about the environment too with this PR campaign. It won’t actually be any meaningful steps toward helping the situation, but it effectively takes the pressure off of us.”

No doubt they took a page out of gun manufacturing, sugar manufacturing and tobacco playbooks.
We'll see where this all goes, but for now it seems like most companies are just reverting to where they were in 2020-2021. It's not a complete catastrophe (yet), but the open pipeline into FAANG is pretty well closed. You can still find jobs, but you might not be wildly overpaid like you would have been last year.
The key thing is to teach people to be able to ride the storms. Don't get caught with your pants down by having discipline to save.
Certainly. At the same time, completely true over here.
This is the only advice that is really applicable and actionable at the individual level.

If someone is "poor and fat", telling them to advocate for a less car dependent society isn't helpful.

Practical advice and understanding societal root causes are really two different activities, and people tend to seamlessly slip between them.

Cruel optimism is personal advice. Lazy pessimism is academic analysis.
This is not accurate. It is 18k corp employees, that does not include the 1M+ warehouse workers.
It's a particular variant of the Netpbm image format: https://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/ppm.html

It's dead simple to emit. The P6 binary version is just a short header, followed by RGB pixel data, one byte per channel.

If you don't have a PNG encoder handy and need a quick "I just need to dump this image to disk to view it" for debugging, PPM is a great format due to how trivial it is. But it doesn't fit a lot of use cases (e.g., files are huge, because no compression).
so immigrants shouldnt be able to open restaurants? seems like a great plan...
From my loose skim, this seems to be more for UX than anything else: no-clicks account creation and no-clicks login, but there's still account creation and login happening, presumably with a key provided by BitWarden. But websites can start removing the login prompt as an entity to be interacted with.
I own passwordless.app. I wonder if they will want to buy it from me now.
Well, when the interest rates were zero profit was an after thought and many still do not grasp what a rate like 4% implies.
That would explain why COBRA is so insanely expensive.... No one is buying it unless they retroactively needed it and thus the risk pool is sky high
Yeah, this is not a good sign IMO.
> Surely you mean avoiding dangerous electric stoves, which emit hazardous electromagnetic radiation?

The "electromagnetic radiation" from stoves has not been shown to be harmful in the amounts absorbed during cooking.

Particles in the air _have_ been shown to be harmful, even ignoring CO and gas leak risks from gas stoves.
Yes and no. These layoffs are limited to corporate employees. IIRC, that’s a third of all employees. Also, this is Amazon and not AWS, as the latter has allegedly decided to up URA targets for 2023.
Not sure if it's just me, but this did nothing to clear up "what the eff" Gemini was for me (and I also thought it was the crypto company at first). It's clear that it's a protocol but I'm unclear what I do with it or why I would use it. Is there, like, a tangible example or a screenshot that would clarify this?
I mean I don't understand the big announcement in the first place; with a company that large, reducing staff count by 10K can be done organically, simply by not hiring replacements.

Which makes me think of two things; one, they want to get rid of very specific people, people who wouldn't quit on their own. And two, that they can't just reduce staff count without an announcement, because staff count is one of those metrics that shareholders use to determine whether they're staying, buying or selling stocks.

A quiet reduction of staff? They can't hire people anymore, this is bad, I should sell my stocks!

A round of layoffs? They're cutting costs, which will be good for profits, I should buy more! Or sell because I've lost confidence.

Honestly, the stock market and shareholders are not rational.
Indeed, as an example, look at the stock prices for the last 4 years (20-22 bubble/where-else-does-money-go-when-all-work-is-remote), or even just startup valuations and round raises. Perhaps a useful question is about open positions at these companies doing layoffs and how many SMBs still exist for hiring, and are actively.
> The ACA has "minimum value" requirements and defines what constitute "essential health benefits" that plans must include to satisfy the ACA's coverage requirements and be eligible for sale on healthcare.gov or state-level marketplaces

Yes, I'm well aware of that, and those requirements are incredibly bare-bones. Nearly any insurance provided by employers far exceeds those requirements, whereas the same cannot be said for insurance provided on the marketplace.

This post is about people who are losing employer-provided insurance, and there's almost no universe in which the non-COBRA options available to most of those people aren't markedly worse than what they're losing, even if we ignore the increased cost of self-purchased insurance.
I do it. Specifically, I go to "comments" and inmediately press the End key, and go back up from there; if I don't go into a tangent before I reach the top, I refresh the page (and press End again).

This yields links and discussions I would otherwise miss, so I still do it sometimes. YMMV.

Edit: mixed "new" and "comments". Fixed.
They may not share my belief, but that doesn’t change the facts.
