Maybe. Hoover was a politically moderate, 54 year old, Stanford educated engineer from the West with a successful career in both industry, and civil service administration? Sounds like a great candidate on paper (honestly sounds better than the current front runners for 2024 at any rate). We often forget that he was actually very successful/effective in every previous post he had served in prior to the Great Depression. Hoover's reputation has been badly tarnished by his response to the Great Depression (which was totally inadequate to the magnitude of the task at hand). He could have and should have done a lot of things differently but instead he made ideologically motivated policy decisions that did not pan out. But to be fair, it is also not entirely his fault that he took office on the eve of the largest global economic catastrophe in history. He would probably be remembered much more fondly had he taken office in place of Harding or Coolidge 8 years prior.

The assumption in that statement is that the trail being convenient for people is the only important consideration.

I was out hiking a couple of years ago on a very steep trail with lots of signs telling people to stay on the trail because they were trying to regrow the forest in the surrounding area to prevent land slides... and what did people do? They cut through it anyway. No wonder they had to shutdown entire portions of the trail.

Sometimes things have to be done a certain way for other reasons. The most convenient technical solution is not always the right solution either.

You're conflating two things, dynamically creating HTML is great and lets you avoid JS in a lot of cases. It's whether you should treat your HTML document as the tree of nodes that it is in your programming language or treat it like a string.

The name "grapefruit" always seemed a little puzzling when compared with grapes, and it seems nobody is quite sure how the name got started, only that it is from Barbados. One interesting theory is that it is named after the "sea grape", the only kind that grew in that time and place, which has a bitter taste.

Out of curiosity, do you remember the date and place of such a conference ? And the name of the US President ?

Not sure what you mean there. Has the data been dubbed irrelevant and replaced with, supposedly, more accurate data, or was it maliciously "erased" from records ?

Did a quick Google search, and it appears that this isn't a new hypothesis, and previous studies had conflicting results.

That seems to be relevant and in direct contradiction:
https://www.alzheimersresearchuk.org/no-link-between-shingle...
While this is only a correlational result, well, while correlation does not mean causation, you really can't have causation without correlation. So it seems there are conflicting results.

Let's see if this new result holds up. FWIW I'll still certainly get my shingles vaccine once I'm old enough to fall into the recommendation. Shingles is known to be a nasty disease, and making it less likely to get is by itself probably more than enough reason to get the vaccine.
> From my experience working at a university (in the foreign language department), I found a number of students who put a large effort into "getting out of work". I was astonished at the number who put more effort into avoiding work than it would have taken to get an A.

It's funny when that happens, I used to do this in 7th or 8th grade when we were doing home exercises in touch typing. All the typing tasks were given from a textbook that was the same for everyone in the country, for a few years at least.
Over 2 years of classes, I had probably spent more time scouring the internet for the solution rather than type it myself. The search was however always more entertaining than the exercise and taught me how to use the web. And I still learned how to touch type.
Very interesting. I recently watched the Michael J. Fox documentary(Still) and even he commented on an earlier infection as a teen "could've" been linked to his condition, but we'll never know.

I use to listen a lot of podcasts every day, I spend every day of my weekend listening to something while doing anything. But I do it using a dumbphone with MicroSD and a giant battery, I don't own a smartphone and I do not consider PC I am typing from as a listening environment for podcasts. I consider my PC with a pair of a giant stereo which I am proud of as an environment for listening to music, but again, I take all music I listen from my 1TB disk dedicated to music only which I used to obtain from all the strangest pieces of Internets. Audio-streaming services probably is a good choice for beginners in listening (unleash your brain's second input!). So, despite of my desire to listen the podcast, I consider those "options" as not an abilities to listen it, but disabilities.
This is a method of disproving a hypothesis, so in that sense yes.

The chickenpox vaccine absolutely decreases the chances of the people getting the vaccine of getting dementia. This has a side-effect of decreasing the exposure of older adults to new chickenpox infections, which increases their odds of developing shingles.[1]

But as long as those older adults are getting the shingle vaccine, their odds of getting dementia should reduce as well.

[1] - Intermittent infection with chickenpox boosts the adaptive immune response to the chronic chickenpox infection that most people who ever caught the disease have. This intermittent boosting helps prevent flareups of the chronic chickenpox infection (also known as shingles), which is likely the causative factor in chickenpox-related dementia. Alternatively, instead of getting intermittently infected with chickenpox, they could just get a shingles vaccine instead to boost their immune response against their previously acquired chronic infection.

I presume that this intermittent exposure to chickenpox is greatest in adults with children (and grandchildren). Possibly explaining the decrease in dementia for older people with adult children: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S235282732...

The only entity in the US that wanted and continues to lobby for H1B to continue is industry and their sole reason for doing so is keeping their salary expenses as low as possible. In the software industry it began with the fake premise that there was a shortage of qualified labor. Without a loophole like H1B, when a labor shortage occurs, you have to raise wages to attract people to the profession. With H1B, average wages (not FAANG) have been allowed to stagnate because the visa workers come from countries with a lower cost of living.

I'm all for immigration, but not sure it's humane to tie it to a profession - if someone is allowed to become a citizen because of their profession, are they not allowed to give it up and do something else in the future?

I wouldn't say it necessarily harms Demo's goals, but I think it sort of "harms" the JS community by keeping Node cruft around as a crutch. It's one thing to support Node features when there's no other choice for a package, but then keeping around these Node APIs just encourages developers to keep using them no matter what runtime you are using. By the time that nearly packages support Demo in one way or another, I expect most new packages to still predominantly be written in Node style.

Just my opinion, but I'd rather that not be the case.
It is helpful to think of it in terms of unit economics. If a company sells a product, it needs to eventually make profit on each unit. (cost < price per unit)

When it comes to owning a share, it eventually needs to make the investor money through dividends or price appreciation. The argument for high PE ratio is price appreciation (growth), but exponential growth is very hard to sustain, so PE ratio has to come down to a certain level in the long term. Also, there is always a risk of a company declining or even folding.
Ah, I missed the take home aspect. Then yes that would be clearly cheating.

India wants trade partners. Russia and to some extent China are currently happy to fill that void because the west seems to have no desire. Bringing India into western economies could effectively replace China for it's cheap labor and manufacturing for the west, and India would have more economic reliability and opportunity for itself.

India wouldn't sever its ties with China and Russia overnight, but it would help to erode their despotic influence against the rest of the world.
Very cool. I always upvote anything about paper airplanes, ha ha.

Many, many hours of my youth were spent making paper airplanes and flying them. I also enjoyed modifying designs with my own embellishments to see if my changes were improvements or no.

Perhaps after catching "The Birdmen" (1971) on TV I became obsessed with building catapult-like paper airplane launchers using thread, paper clips and weights to drag the airplanes along the length of the kitchen table and send them sailing off the end.

I think part of this was due to a lack of toys to entertain myself with (my sister and I, growing up with a single mother who worked as a secretary — she stole office products so that I was kept in letter-size paper, pencils, pens). Perhaps too there were a lot of those months spent indoors in the either too-cold or too-hot/humid Midwest.
> AI-quality refutation

Cool, we're going to be like that. What's depressing is that I made the effort when you tried to pull things off into a rabbit trail of to a single book review.

To be clear you didn't refute my initial argument here which looked at the state of the scientific community, you threw out a (from the sounds of things favorite cherry picked) book review from the New York Times.

> So how do you know it's not still happening?

Because it's much easier for scientists to have their own independent voices and easier to hear from the scientific community directly. Our ability to communicate these points, much like the science itself, is greatly improved from the 70s.
Isn't SpaceX using Chromium with a JavaScript app in their space capsule dashboards? It's interesting that they chose that while Tesla used Qt. Obviously the engineering teams aren't the same but I wonder if there is a story behind the two choices.
The NHK article you linked is about a death by shooting in Machida, and unrelated to this earthquake. There is an article about the earthquake from about four hours before that one was posted (https://www3.nhk.or.jp/shutoken-news/20230526/1000093005.htm...), though, and it doesn't mention deaths. That one was posted specifically in the section for Tokyo metro area (首都圏) news rather than national news, which does lend credence to the notion that fatality-less earthquakes don't garner much of a news cycle.
Stable across mutations? On what timeframe.. Its been stable so far.

However, create a population with narrow immunity based on a single protein, and you create a selection pressure that incentivizes mutations in that protein. Once a successful mutation exists, it has a wide open field to spread unchecked. With broad immunity (multiple proteins) it is much less likely that a variant can realize the multiple simultaneous mutations that would be required to spread effectively.

As a counter-counterpoint I tried to use GPT to avoid learning bash argument parsing. The script was buggy. After about 30 minutes of iterating with ChatGPT I gave up and read the docs.

Basic arithmetic and calculators.

I'm old: when I went to school we weren't allowed calculators "because there'll be a situation where you need to do basic arithmetic and don't have a calculator". I occasionally laugh at this while firing up the calculator app on my phone. We'd have been better off if they'd taught us sign language rather than arithmetic.

I gave a list of types of questions I use to try to discern the manager and the company's perspective. Obviously these aren't to be utilized rapid-fire in a dismissive attitude. However, that's exactly how companies approach interviews. Why isn't it good for me to do the same that's being done to me?

> if you asked me a couple of those questions (especially back-to-back) during an interview, I would not hire you.

(The personal response) And there's no way I'd want to work with or for you with that kind of "you ask too many questions" attitude.

> It isn't that any of those are bad questions per se, but the volume and forwardness of them would be a red-flag that this is a person who likes to show up, make trouble, and not be held accountable for it.

I've also been in workplaces that fired after one fuck-up that was due to miscommunication, bad documentation, or other 3rd party factors. I'm not normally accustomed to making mistakes in my professional area, but they do happen. "How are failures and changes handles in your org?" is a massive key indicator of how this org maintains and grows, and I along with it.

And as an engineer, I get *paid* to ask questions, including those pointed ones that get to the root of a matter. And I apply those skills and abilities to interview processes as I would to any other process. To see a hiring manager dismiss this type of interactive discussion as "someone who makes trouble", is the very type of manager I recommend to be fired on my reviews.

> Maybe that's not your goal, but remember that in an interview you only have a few minutes to communicate where you're coming from.

And the implied contextural clues you typed here indicates that it's the interviewer's to ask the questions, and the candidate to shut up unless spoken to, except for a softball one-off question at the end.

Interviews are a 2 way street. You're interviewing me, and I'm ALSO interviewing you. My questions I ask that probe to a company culture and happiness of the interviewers is of utmost importance. I've turned down higher-paying higher-stress jobs precisely because people on the team balked at work-life balance questions.

Another company had a manager roll their eyes when I asked if they would work the position they were hiring for. Just what exactly did I dodge by discontinuing the interview?

One company blatantly stated that "full time ie expected to be 50 hours minimum" when I asked how maintenances were handled with scheduling. And they're a BIG vehicle company. 6 sigma, ISO 20000, yadda yadda. Absoluutely no life balance, and the interviewing manager made that known.

I've dodged a LOT of crap companies with these sorts of questions. Yours sounds like one as well, with your response.

No offense.

But what do you mean “fast”? If your problem ends up on the steep side of the exponential curve, it’s going to take a while to solve.

I had a lot of fun making my own CDCL solver in Rust, and I’ve really enjoyed messing with Z3 for some theoretical computer science. On all of my explorations, there was a very tangible problem size beyond which the solve time was unusable.

In the case of Z3 with most real world problems, the typical problem size is beyond this limit.
