You're right, some of us couldn't afford college and so went into tech because back then it didn't require a degree. Worked their way up from a call center to web and software development. Learn some stuff along the way and release a game for the xbox 360 all while maintaining that career they worked so hard to build, only now they are a Director within the industry teaching others and directing others on how to build planet-scale data lakes and distributed systems. :D It's not about money (though we think it is when we start), it's about fulfillment and doing what you love.

Yeah, it's weird, but the more I think about it the more I realize that if it weren't for the social skills I built at the bar, I likely wouldn't have made the friends I did who gave me the support I needed along the way.

There's a spooky kind of power in being able to curate a vibe and be easy to socialize with. It looks a whole lot like just fucking around, but there's probably not a thing in my life it hasn't improved.

For what it's worth, I had the same growing concerns over my tech career though I have to be honest, I wasn't as down on it as you seem to be. I totally get the idea of doing something to make yours (and maybe someone elses) universe a little better,

I started in tech in the late 90's making websites, that lead into design and development, I ran a company for a bit doing consultancy from 2007 to 2013 and then took at job at a start up as the first technical and design person. I stayed there for nine years, moved into the CTO role, then the CIO role and then last year I quit the industry to go back to a local rural college and study arboriculture and forestry. I now spend my days learning about trees and doing chainsaw work. By the time summer comes around I'll have all the qualifications I need to actually work as a climber who can use a chainsaw up a a tree or as a forester to go into plantations and fell timber stock. I also got pretty interested in woodworking in 2018 and I've spent a few years slowly self renovating my (very small) garage into a workshop capable of small scale production of "craft" items. Between the tree work and the creative sales I'm hoping to get a modest income up and running by the end of the year. It'll never be a tech salary, but that's fine because I'm out in the woods and in nature and that's a price tech could never pay. Even when the weather is cold, wet and grey there's still something to being outside and working (though I'm sure that will wear off after a few years)

People often congratulate me on quitting to get "my dream job", or because I'm "following my passion" and neither of those things are true. My dream job is to work on whatever I want without having to worry about money. What I'm doing now is something I'm prepared to do for money because a) it is great fun and b) I'm doing something that at the end of the day leaves the planet in a slightly better state than it was at the start of the day.

My unsolicited advice to you is to turn some of that cynicism into harnessable energy. It's not easy for sure, but that's kind of the point. If you stay with that easy pay check everything will be hard because you don't want to be there. Turn that around and do the hard thing of finding or up-skilling into something else and then you'll find most things will be easy because the simple act of changing your life will give you some wind in your sails.

If it's important - I'm in the UK. Northumberland to be precise.
Of course I agree with that. It's not an argument for relying more heavily on confession "evidence."

Your argument is the same for iCloud backup, which does not require a passcode.

A simple method is to make the backup encrypted, where it leaves your device encrypted.

You would probably have a better chance of escalating any issue with a mail to anyone that isn't customer support. If you're a security researcher, imagine customer support as this big human firewall to communicating with this corporation, meant to be extremely strict so the communication with the rest of the cooperation won't be flooded with all the things customers want.

If you're not understanding this properly and wasting time trying to contact someone through customer support, that's on you. Which company doesn't even matter.

Jobs that require security clearance often have this stipulation too, even when the work is deemed sufficiently insensitive that it can be done remotely.
That’s my point: Americans spend a ton of time doing their taxes because taxes are complicated, not because the IRS doesn’t pre-transcribe their W-2. If all you need is the 1040-EZ, you can do that in 20 minutes.
A lot of companies have contracts stating that all data will be processed in their country. Anyone working outside the country would breach those contracts.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I found value in every point you have mentioned.

One option we thought of was to relocate to our home country near our family but did not because of good treatment available in US. But this is certainly something to think though for future.
This is a good step. Now they need to trash that idea of having electronic payment companies send out a 1099K for anyone with $600/yr of online payments (PayPal, Venmo, etc.). I know they put the idea on hold because of backlash, but they need to dump it entirely. It will only generate $8B in tax revenue over the next 10 years ($800M/yr) but will cause a huge number of people to pay taxes they don't owe when they sell used crap on eBay, CraigsList, etc. The electronic payment companies don't know whether these payments are business-related or personal.
I bet a dollar if he went and did that, you'd turn around and call it virtue-signaling.

You're just looking for an excuse to invalidate their beliefs, so you can excuse yours. Not a healthy debate.
Exactly. What I've seen done when people really want to work outside the country is they are given the option to quit and become a contractor. That puts most of the risk on the employee to handle the country specific regulations, along with all the other contractor type risk (and benefits).
Those computations get more complicated as you get older, but if you are young or just not over 45, you can generally pay for your medical care out of pocket in Thailand.

> Does anyone else hate the way it's now a requirement to enter your password for an App store purchase?

As far as I know, it's always been a requirement, though after entering once, you can install more apps without entering a password for a temporary period. It's a good idea, too, since your AppleID is tied to your debit card or credit card, so if someone got a hold of your unlocked iDevice, if the AppleID password wasn't required, they could install as many apps as your debit card or credit card will allow. That's no good. Getting a refund for an AppStore App is near impossible.

Right, the point is that we can and should get that down to 5 minutes. It's just stupid lobbying and weird ideology to insist that the IRS stay out of the preparation business.

And then once they start doing it, they can probably figure out how to do it for a larger and larger percentage of people over time (and the tax code can be adjusted to make it work better in cases where it makes sense).

I’m impressed by your comfort level and curious about the specific indications you’re doing, would appreciate your perspective as I’m in a tertiary care/level 1 centre so POCUS practitioners aren’t as skilled here imo. The training in Canada is also very heterogeneous (some do a 1 year fellowship while others do a weekend course with standardized patients). One of the issues to keep in mind with POCUS is monitoring outcomes / comparing with gold standards (whether that’s formal imaging or operative reports). In radiology we very often get feedback in addition to M&M + multidisciplinary rounds to maintain quality, anecdotally I’ve found this to be more variable in POCUS-heavy practices.

1. Regarding FAST

There is a certain amount of variation by centre, but it is definitely not true that every trauma goes to CT first, most do but it’s not infrequent (forgive my usage of this) to go straight to OR for damage control lap and CT after, particularly with penetrating trauma or non-responding hemodynamically unstable patients. At my hospital (level 1 trauma) a positive FAST + instability generally goes straight to OR, you may argue the FAST is noncontributory and these patients should go straight to OR anyway but it’s certainly routinely performed.

2. Procedural - completely agree, should be highly reliable for all physicians. It’s arguably malpractice to do procedures blind these days.

3. Early OB - are you performing TVUS? This is uncommon, and if you are that’s phenomenal. Are you just doing r/o ectopic or formal dating US? CRL and MSD can be challenging to measure accurately, but if you’re doing a lot and getting followup from rads/OB it’s certainly possible to be reliable at this.

4. Soft tissue - as in abscess or MSK? MSK ultrasound is very challenging and I would be enormously impressed if you are doing tendon tears reliably (other than full thickness) as many radiologists are uncomfortable with these today. Do you have MR or formal radiology follow up reads to assess your sens/spec?

5. Biliary - Assuming you mean cholecystitis and gross bil dil, glad to hear this is becoming comfortable for POCUS practitioners. My centre has a formal POCUS fellowship but the surgeons don’t rely on their reads, they will see in consult based on POCUS but always demand a radiology examination prior to operating. I hope that this will change in the near future for chole. I’d be hesitant as a patient getting scanned for focal bil dil (aka ?cholangio) or PSC by POCUS, but I doubt that’s a common indication for you.

6. Echo - Assuming you mean for ER indications? Are you still sending for formal echos or comfortable ruling out all valvular disease? Our cardiology fellows who do bedside echo in CCU still seem to get formal reads.

7. Peritonsillar - I can’t even remember the last time I’ve reported one of these, we have dedicated ER CT scanners 24/7 so they always go straight to CT. Is this an accurate test?

Overall happy to hear POCUS is more reliable in some places, I dream of the day I can stop reporting acute care US.
The solution to that is called Snowflake
If the intent to advance a hypothesis for public scrutiny was declared explicitly, indicating the basis for forming the hypothesis (or where it was found, if not originated by the hypothesis-advancer), then I think there would be interactions with experts rather than an avalanche of non-experts repeating slogans (with no indication of how or where they found the adage).

That sort of transparency may make the difference among a set of choices including "that's so ridiculous it's not worth replying", "that's ridiculous but maybe both parties (and other readers) might learn something from the discussion of why it's ridiculous", and "we can take this seemingly-ridiculous hypothesis somewhat seriously and determine where and how it goes wrong, and whether a more formal exploration (in the sense of 'write it up as something approaching a draft paper') might be fruitful".

Experts can learn in a good faith ELI5/ELI12/ELI25 discussion, sometimes about their own field (e.g. the expert might arrive at some personally-useful intuition while explaining some technical procedure), but more often about how to communicate more effectively with nonexperts.

More pejoratively, advancing an unusual hypothesis in a field that one does not understand, leaning on a third-party idea that one does not disclose, and treating the unusual hypothesis as requiring disproof is unlikely to be fairly described as "good faith".

Perhaps the particular T962a was just a bad product, but at $WORK we just could not get it working reliably across many types of PCBs- it really required tuning the profile to each type of PCB (small, large, black solder mask vs green, etc)- and yes, a colleague spent a day or two installing the cold junction compensation mod. From what I saw- there was just too large variance in IR emissivity/absorption of the PCBA and their thermal properties, which resulted in scorched connectors on one batch and raw/non-molten paste on another batch- with exactly the same profile.

I achieved much better results with just a (convection) toaster oven and multimeter thermocouple- I only added PID controller because I started using the oven for drying something as well.
Most digital nomads are independent contractors so they bare the legal risks in their own. Many countries don’t care until they do, then there is a crackdown in a place like Chiangmai. Kind of risky, but I see the appeal.
Are you looking to be a digital nomad, or do you have a specific other country you visit on a regular basis?

If it's the former, you're SOL for all the reasons listed in this thread.

If it's the latter, you may be able to bring this up and figure out if it's OK to work X days per year in country Y specifically. The company may not want to bother with it anyway, but that is a relatively easy problem to solve compared to "working indeterminate periods in any place in the world". It's even possible that the two countries in question have a special relationship and there's no constraints working remotely one to the other, or that the situation is so common the consequences are well known and easy to account for.
Oops yes I sure did. Thanks
Depending on what you mean by "fully abandoning it" that doesn't seem to track with humans being loss-averse as has been shown in (I believe) many psychological studies. Meaning most people vastly prefer remaining at a low level than to even lose a tiny bit. The fate of a frog becoming human and then being discarded shortly afterwards would be judged to be much more terrible by most people than the frog never becoming human in the first place.
Side note: the soundtrack is great.
I had to close a bank account as I changed country - they did not have a license to operate in the country I was moving to.
This is excellent news. Hopefully many other countries will follow suit and ban this dangerous ideology before it does serious damage.

WebGL2 has just recently become production quality on all browsers, take all the WebGPU talk with a pinch of salt if you're interested shipping sometihng in the next few years.

(Practically, both are low level APIs and you'll probably be using something that can reasonably easily switch between WebGL2 and possible future WebGPU backends once they finish the spec and implementations start shipping and stabilizing and waiting for Safari)
I feel a lot of the answers here are true but missing the point. It’s true that the company wants to protect itself legally from the complications of having staff of operations in various countries. But I doubt the company really cares if you are in another country while fully remote - they just don’t want to knowingly have their employee in those various jurisdictions. I would just make sure that you never give the company a reason to think you are outside the country. but that isn’t the same as actually not working outside the country. Of course, this only applies to private or public companies, if a government organization had this as a policy, I would follow it to the letter.
These techniques are similar to those that I use for teaching maths & statistics to humans.
1. No country that I know of allows you to easily have employee status for an entity in another country.

2. Even if you don't require a visa to do tourist stuff in country X, you probably do need a work permit.

Work legislation hasn't been adapted to remote work yet. Probably won't get satisfactory in our life times.

What are those "relatively small amounts of time" though? Because I'm not sure someone would notice a week. You mean the common 90 days allowed without a visa when there's no visa requirement?
> how in the hell is "University of the Sunshine Coast" an author?

It isn’t — it’s an affiliation! The authors are Patrick Nunn and Roselyn Kumar, both at the University of the Sunshine Coast. The formatting on the paper is admittedly a bit confusing though; at least in my field affiliations are usually printed as footnotes or similar.
> you might have to be called to the office

This sounds more like a flexible work from home arrangement than a remote job.

Besides, I don't know what state you're in but in Texas or California merely being in the same state does not imply "near enough to be called in at short notice"!
Then just don’t tell them. That’s what I do.

Haha I was being a bit conservative, but my centre has UC in the tertiary care hospitals and I don’t see many asthma indications so I assume that population is not getting imaged routinely.
Show HN: Linux and Windows CalDAV calendar client
Hello, I have been developing self hosted CalDAV calendar Bloben (https://bloben.com), which is now available also as standalone Electron desktop client for Linux and Windows.

It is using same client and server code base with some changes like:

- switching from PostgreSQL database to SQLite

- requests are handled with IPC

- no account management, just single user

Why Electron app when there is already self hosted client?
I think there are some people, who don't want all features from self hosted version and using desktop app might be easier for them or it is just better alternative (be it maintenance, security, features).

Published versions are advised to be for testing purposes only due to possibly many bugs.
They can be found here:

https://bloben.com/download

Main git repository is here:

Thank you and feel free to try it or ask if you are interested in anything.
How Africa's super app landscape is evolving
I disagree with this heavily, because the food pyramid is also the basis of government provided school lunches, other meal provisions, hospital nutrition for the very sick (diabetic/kidney failing/heart failing), meals for soldiers, and a wide variety of other nutritional programs.

It’s not about what happens when you have a choice on what to eat but what information official sources use when you are reliant on another authority for meals.

Edited to add that: it’s important to know why the food pyramid was created and the context of them. Government provided nutrition guidelines were used for meal provision during the Great Depression, food rationing during war, etc. and are still largely created by the USDA which answers to agribusiness and not medicine. (There are several news articles of the USDA actively withdrawing and editing nutritional guidelines due to agribusiness outcry!)

You obviously don't need to blow up reactors to learn stuff

Build, prototype and see how parts react (for example, corrosion) way before an emergency happens. Build a first version, then improve on a second version. Iterations will work better with smaller reactors than with bigger ones

And you do need some research into materials, but that's part of the process and evolution.
I thought it meant "goto the bottom left corner" or "goto the top left corner then goto the bottom left corner." or "mark all legal tiles visited".

There's no hint in the help that you're suppose to goto the tile coordinate specified by the little box in the bottom left corner. I'm not even technically sure that's what the "f8" at the beginning is for since the help doesn't mention it.

Canvas is for drawing shapes, primarily. It has some basic font support.

The browser can’t really do much with those shapes in terms of accessibility. Perhaps zooming or increasing contrast? The cases where it makes sense are few. Also, svg support has gotten better, and is easier to use, if you need simple animations embedded within a regular, otherwise accessible page.

Hope that helps.
