Many cardiologists also treat CPAP, since undiagnosed apnea can result in heart issues. Probably one of them could order a sleep study. In theory your PCP could order one too, but many are uneducated on apnea. My mother's PCP said she couldn't have it because she was "too cheerful".

Bear in mind, surgery is not considered the best treatment. Before you let someone cut you, you should really look at the numbers
> but a phone is not just "a small desktop"

Why not? It's a general-purpose computer, isn't it? Why intentionally design an OS in such a way that you must rewrite all software for it from scratch?

Yes, the UI is very different, but changing the UI is much easier than rewriting the program from scratch. Why is there no full Firefox on Android? It was already adapted for GNU/Linux phones and runs fine there, but not on Android. Same for LibreOffice AFAIK. Isn't it due to the design on this OS?

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet.

The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later.

Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.

Yes, it has an iGPU like all 7xxx desktop Ryzen CPUs. But the GPU has only 2 RDNA2 CUs compared to 96 RDNA3 CUs in Radeon RX7900XTX, or 80 RDNA2 CUs in RX6900XT. For example, mobile Ryzen 6800H has 12 RDNA2 CUs. So it is fine for desktop use like the Intel (non XE) iGPUs.
Person A gets hired in the public sector and acquires relevant expertise on a specific topic but earns a pittance; they are then invited to join a consultancy for 2x their wage. This person's hours now cost 8-10x as before for the government, because the consulting companies are adding a ton of overhead to it. The supposed trade-off is that over the long run (30+ years) we arguably saved money, as keeping this person staffed and paying their pension would have cost even more.

One possible solution would be to have federal "consultancy" agencies for this type of project. A subway project is a one-in-a-generation thing for most cities, but not for a nation. We could also pay these federal agents handsomely, at least competitive with consultancy salaries. Each city or state would then pay for their hours to the federal government with a tiny overhead on top.
> I've always been confused why salaried workers think they only need to work 40 hours a week.

Employment contracts in most developed countries will specify a) hours of business/office hours and b) an expected number of hours that the employee is to work. In many countries (including the UK for example [1]), there are even laws restricting the number of working hours by default.

> Rarely (never in my experience) does the agreement include you only work 40 hours a week.

Exactly - you can also work less if nobody notices (easy to pull off).

$400k to work 50hr/week vs $250k to work 20hr/week. What do you choose?
> Allow me to propose a model of thinking about code: there's infrastructure code and there's business logic code.
> Infrastructure code is exciting, powerful code that exposes easy-to-use interfaces that solve difficult and tricky problems, like talking to browsers (Flask), talking to databases (the Django ORM, SQLAlchemy), dependency injection frameworks (incant), serialization (cattrs) or defining classes (attrs, dataclasses).
> Business logic code is boring and unexciting code that enables you to solve problems and finish tickets and sprints at your day job.

What a weird take, unironically asserting that the only "exciting" code is the glue, and all of the actual things software does is just an excuse to build more frameworks.
Its not about brute force, its about giving it a kick in the right direction, changing the already moribund orbit, into one which graces atmosphere now instead of in 10000 years. The rest it does on its own..

I used a few popular (real) posts as examples for the prompt. The three different formats I went with are quite popular (in my feed, at least.)
I don't think "technical debt" in and of itself is a fatally flawed term. The issue is that any term that becomes widely used jargon loses the preciseness of its meaning. Unless you address the root problem of having terms lose their meaning, replacing "technical debt" with "maintenance load" will eventually fall into the same trap.

The same can be said for "stand ups" in which most people sit down, and for "agile" which usually doesn't involve the practices that produce agility on a team.

For me I like the term "technical debt" because it succinctly describes a complexity cost that accrues interest over time. It doesn't simply mean "bad code". You can work with that cost to prioritize more important work however eventually if you don't pay it down, it will catch up with you and you will be spending your time and money on paying off the interest rather than investing in your features.

Another term I like to use in tandem with "technical debt" is "technical investment". Technical investment is spending time and effort on things that will return a benefit over time, either reducing technical debt, or enabling more features.
Isn't the point of GraphQL to allow each client to select what they want? On desktop, you want fields A B C, on mobile you want fields X Y Z-- great! It goes against the "don't build a general-purpose API" thought, but it works great in unlocking the front-end teams from having to request a change from the backend team. But that's assuming you have separate front-end and back-end teams. The most useful architecture might be contextual to your organization's size and structure.
Like all things there are risks and some things have greater risk than others but are still low enough that they are not worrisome enough.

There is a lot of misinformation around SIDs and its relationship with co-sleeping. Co-sleeping is riskier than the baby sleeping in its own bed but generally not measurably so. Where a lot of co-sleeping deaths happen is when the caretaker falls sleep in a chair or a couch holding the baby and baby falls or gets into a bad breathing position. The number of deaths from smothering do exist but pale in comparison.

Of course every baby/person is different and you have to find what works for you as a parent.
Dating apps are not real life.
I live above latitude 65 degrees so auroras are quite common. Few years ago I had to deliberately go out and seek location without light pollution and watch auroras because I wasn't sure anymore if I had actually seen them live.

Now I atleast remember the delighted screams of tourists that were taking photos there.
> It's zip with an arbitrary amount of array parameters.

So… zip?

Python’s does that, and for most other langages you could use overloading, basic macros, or traits trickery to get there if you really wanted to support unreasonable widths (IME you almost never need more than 3, and combining two zip/2 works fine then).
True, but that wasn't the case here. If there were only "32,767 possible SSH keys" you wouldn't need to test very many before you'd get a collision. Such a test would have detected this issue and any similar issue that produces key in such a small set.
I was also really curious about Linux benchmarks; and seems like Phoronix, a Linux-centric tech review outlet, also released their own reviews with tons of game and productivity benchmarks running on the latest kernel. https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-ryzen9-7950x3d-linux
I don’t know how to homebrew. If I ask ChatGPT to help me get started homebrewing, it lists helpful steps to start homebrewing. I can ask it to expand on any of those steps until the breakdown is actionable.

Checking some of the facts it gives me against other sites it’s all correct, but better organized and more accessible. There’s your counter-example. This works for basically any well-documented process.
Dumpsters in front of new construction are my favorite. Lots of good pine studs, OSB, and other stuff. I built a whole workbench (with a spot for table saw and storage) out of materials I pulled from dumpsters on the street when they were building a new subdivision behind me. Some of my favorite picks were unopened bundles of shingles (heavy!) that I will use for a shed some day, a bunch of brand-new pex tubing, and an entire case of caulk.
>The US may not be perfect, but the world is a harsh harsh place and people have no idea how good they have it right here, right now.

Amen.
I will definitely echo everything said here. Gitlab used to be an amazing example of doing it right but nowadays looking at their release notes, they sprinkle in one or two free features while the vast majority are locked away.

They do sometimes give the peasants access to the features months or years later, but the majority of features are still locked away.
Sorry for the very kitchen focused comment but the kitchen is where I used the most plastic.

Polycarbonate is a very useful plastic for food containers ("cambros") because it's lightweight, durable, and can be transparent. Sure, glass could work but it's a lot more fragile, especially if you were to try to constantly stack/unstack them in a commercial kitchen.

To a lesser extent the same argument could be made for polypropylene deli containers (for food storage and kitchen prep, not as disposable food containers).

I use plastic wrap probably more than I should in the kitchen (when baking) which could obviously be replaced by lids that fit whatever containers I'm putting the plastic wrap on but in some applications I can't imagine plastic wrap being replaced without some special lid (proofing a bread loaf that you want to proof out of the top of the container).

I think that's it though. In general, I agree that single-use plastics (or "re-use for a while and eventually throw out") are unnecessary but if something can be used indefinitely (I've had my cambros for something like 5 years at this point and they still look new) then I don't see it as an unnecessary plastic.

They probably do use a list of known applications + some heuristics around graphics APIs? "List of known games" is pretty much what their graphics driver team handles as their bread and butter, so doesn't seem like a significant stretch.
I think OP meant, why not using the standardised MiB, and the answer is: because it's not that well known.

Be aware that there are some encryption algorithms where decryption with the wrong key won't fail but lead to a wrong result (rot13 being the simplest example, there are some modes in AES with this behavior too).

A potential improvement could be to use a different key per customer, where the key mapping (customer -> key) is encrypted with the application key, this process simplifies key-rotation and prevent that a leaked key gets access to all the secrets.

The key mapping schema could be handled with postgres security definer functions to avoid dumping the schema from code.
I found a VAX 11/70, dumb terminals, associated cables and hardware in large dumpster at the Rochester Institute of Technology. It was around 1992, but possibly a year or two earlier.

This was before e-waste recycling was popular.

I didn’t take it.

My own college still had an VAX 11/70.
You can contact me, for instance :)
Modern waterproof textiles are used by lots and lots of people that keep your basic infrastructure running, that allows you to stay in your warm, insulated, dry house. So they can stay reasonably comfortable while doing jobs like keeping the power running in a snowstorm, or keeping the roads clear for emergency vehicles.
> Today adherents of Islam constitute the world's second-largest religious group. An estimated 1.8 billion or more than 24% of the world population identify themselves as Muslims.

Add in non-Muslim Arabs and you've hit 2 billion right quickly. The assumption is that a Muslim can recognize the Quran's written language somewhat.
The inflation has really hit the consumer market... 700$ for CPU and over thousand for GPU... Memory is not cheap either...

Not that it won't sell, but still these price points for something still called consumer start to be high. You could get a whole portable PC for same money.
I think this is important. There's no real way to measure technical debt. The best we seem to have is cyclomatic complexity and lines of code. Not exactly what I would hope for.

Alternatively we have 'best practices' (ie someone with an important title somewhere wrote a blog post about it) and 'code smells' (so ... the code makes your tummy feel bad when you look at it, yeah I'm sure that's objective).

There are a few corners of the web where people have been trying things, but I don't know if I'm convinced. It is however better than nothing.

https://www.sonarsource.com/docs/CognitiveComplexity.pdf

https://www.progsbase.com/blog/flow-charts-of-programming-la...

I don't think our industry is going to make any headway into a healthy way to deal with technical debt until we can talk objectively about the coding constructs that we're building. There's too many situations where people are conflating familiarity with objective quality. And even when you get past that the politics of having your coding philosophy win out means you can't trust enough people to honestly approach the issue.

EDIT:

Additionally, you have to worry about the external politics involved. If vendor A says the feature takes 3 months, but vendor B does the feature in 3 weeks, then it it's pretty clear who the customer is going to want to go with. That is until three days after launch when the module vendor B wrote keeps formatting end users' hard drives.

OR MAYBE vendor A are just really bad at their jobs and their 3 month version would be the one formatting hard drives. Those who want software written do not have good metrics for how hard anything actually is.
If you're going to have a public presence after being laid off, you want to come off exactly how she is right now. Of course, it would be nice to live in a world where we don't have so much public presence. But humanity has been through worse.
Because copypasting from A to B is much safer...
The repetition of "train derailments happen all the time" is like introducing Chernobyl by saying power plants have service disruptions all the time. Not the story.

A train carrying a compound specifically recommended not to be transported by rail because of the hazard it poses as an environmental contaminant, the malfeasance and corruption that led to it being delisted and being on that train, and the subsequent political and legal maneuvering so as to minimize liability while mobilizing media to misdirect and trivialize the risk and endangerment to a town of people is the story.

<< Say "Wally" from Dilbert, but without being an asshole.

Can you invoke Dilbert these days without incurring wrath of people he, apparently, offended? Sadly, I agree and most people seem misunderstand what his strip offered to the office-bound population ( which is the part you mentioned: politics and related bshittery).

I try to be more productive, but it is mostly, because I seem to be stuck on menial and boring stuff so I am forced to be clever and automated.

This doesn't include the costs for everything else needed, electricity, the other hardware etc etc. Plus, if you want 18tb, you actually need 3 drives: 2 for live use, one as a spare. If any of the live drives dies, you plop in the spare, rebuild the raid, move the data out and change the drives (since it might be impossible to acquire another 18tb drive).
Almost certainly not, but you can use custom Aniancy-CPP rules to do this yourself on linux.

I was not saying anything against ADHD meds. They are very important if you require them as I do.

It is really important to understand your body and yourself. Sleep apnea is not a joke and people miss the signs.

If you only worked in companies producing web applications, writing CRUD routes all day is indeed incredibly boring. The glue at least gives you the opportunity to work with a larger range of technical subjects.
This kind of syntactic sugar used to appeal to me, but now I think it's a pretty weird feature to add to a language. Using zip / enumerate primitives feels a lot more flexible.
> Doesn’t mean it’s a nonsense position to hold.

I'm not sure on that. It's backed by very little legally or culturally.

Lawyers, doctors, finance professionals, and other high paying, salaried professions include the expectation of more working hours, many times unexpectedly, to get the work done.

Wanting the higher wages associated with a salaried position but the stability of hourly work seems like it's backed by little but personal entitlement.
Passwordless is actually MFA --

Those are definitely two factors that are required to be together for passwordless to work
I agree. Full time employment comes with it the expectation of a higher level of job security (contractors are fired or laid off first), along with benefits (PTO, healthcare, stock options, etc).

Let’s say 100k base salary. 5% additional comp (bonuses or stock, this is conservative number). Healthcare for you, another $300/month, not even counting employers who cover dependents. Ignoring all taxes including FICA. PTO 3 weeks (120 hours).

Base salary is 48/hour, but your total comp will bring it to more like 58/hour. Which is probably more than your contractor counterparts.

You trade a little bit more of your time (responding to outages or crunching for a product launch deadline) for the security and benefits.

If one of my employees refused to respond to an outage because it’s outside 9-5 working hours, I would fire them for cause (pending approval from legal of course).
I myself run it in Edge, specifically because I believe Microsoft is less capable of exfiltrating and collecting my data effectively that Google.

These kinds of reviews just reinforce my belief that the popular use of “studies” to support… anything… is fraught with potential for abuse. I can’t / don’t know how to do this analysis, so I guess I’ll be fooled.
I can imagine that one reason is that you also need customers to be able to find things, which is difficult when not sorted into some meaningful categories. That said, I think at the Target near me the beer and the diapers are relatively close.
I am super happy with mine, after having it for a couple months now.
There are many games I would not have played otherwise, not to mention emulation.

But after spending some time in the last week in the desktop mode, the thing that is striking me is that the steam deck is a serious alternative to the raspberry pi insofar as using it for a tinkering, first computer kind of way. A few years ago I bought my son a rpi and after getting it, a case, keyboard, mouse, sd card, usb hub, etc, plus needing a monitor, it ends up being a few hundred dollars. And at the end of that you still cant really play any games on it. You would still need accessories, but they technically wouldnt be _required_ for the steamdeck. I bet I could use it for a lot of programming without any issue.
100%, I think what has happened is smothering/SIDS/co-sleeping deaths got kinda lumped together into a single statistic and I know at least for me as a new parent it really freaked me out.

When I read more into the numbers it seemed that where co-sleeping has a real risk is when it happens outside of the bed, when the caretaker falls asleep in a chair. All of the deaths get lumped together and we are just told that you need to X so you reduce the risk of SIDs. It kinda sucks because it is so hard being a new parent, it would be nice to better understand up front what the real risks are.
Is this why that popular secondhand store in Japan is called "Hard-Off"?
What did you find? Manuals or hardware? See my other post about finding a VAx 11/70 in a dumpster.
The way I look at it, is that if your job disappeared overnight would anyone even notice? A great example here is Twitter. Elon fired (by conservative estimates) over 2/3 of their total staff. Yet the service runs just as it did before. What were those people doing? Did their work matter at all?
> The institution produced a fair amount of academic research, but the vast majority of it was essentially fraudulent. We had some contracts with industry to produce technology in the space, but these mostly seemed to consist of the organisation fumbling the projects and massaging the truth (read: lying) until they could collect more funding.

I'm all for reducing plastics, but some of your ideas are quite naive.

Like replacing plastics with glas - I mean, you can do that, but glas isn't exactly an environmentally friendly material. Glas making uses a lot of fossil gas, the technology to make glas with renewable electricity does not exist at scale (it's been tried more than a decade ago and was a big failure), and it has emissions that cannot be easily avoided due to the use of carbonates.
Having worked in data in many different environments including market research, Fortune 100, unicorn startups I beg to differ.
