Biggest trick is taking breaks, it is so easy to push past when you'd really have liked to stop for lunch because you think you're almost there or skip your usual break for a coffee. Set timers if you need to. I tend to rely on my partners to remember to ask for breaks or suggest breaks when they seem distracted or like they are flagging.

We update assignees to reflect when more than one person is working on something but we never assign work to individuals or pairs. We use an aggressive WIP limit of engineers/2+1 to prevent a ton of in flight tickets but other than that we're quite free to move around as long as we're moving the stuff on the board right-wards.

I think that's a thing that contributes to our success at pairing actually. Since we all value schedule flexibility quite highly we get on well with pairing a bit when we happen to have synchronized working time and working on independent subtasks when that is more convenient for us.

https://tuple.app/ - this tooling helped a ton, it's expensive but worth it to reduce the friction to start a pairing call to 0. Pairing on zoom, slack, meets, etc. is all much more painful. VS Code LiveShare esque things are free and can probably work as well with some discipline.

High indeed, as in "extraordinary".

I think that "reproduced at 100 labs" is near the level of reproduction at any university lab, maybe even as a part of students coursework. Which would actually be great, since we don't have trouble reproducing some other important electromagnetic and quantum phenomena, like light diffraction, at an ordinary university lab.
How does one distinguish the top of a field in which 98% of practitioners are incorrect? Seems like we need a breakthrough of some sort.
I think it’s more down to adverse selection… while some really smart people might be making decent returns via technical analysis or whatever, they’ll never disclose their strategies since someone else could frontrun them. Instead, the only strategies we get exposed to are the ones that don’t work, since the best way to make money on a strategy that doesn’t work is to find someone to sell it to. Like - it’s clearly possible to make money trading, because a very small amount of people seem to be able to do so somewhat reliably. But if someone is trying to sell you a trading course, they’re almost certainly more of a scam artist than a genius trading savant.
Here is my takeaway from this.

This was your first and only job. (Therapy is still on going and a month ago you asked what is happening and got some feedback about someone else quitting.) Which is why you don't understand the 2 weeks notice isn't just for you to be productive but to help hand things over.

Realistically, your former colleagues probably had to figure out what you had done and not done. This will leave a nasty after taste.

My understanding is that 2 weeks notice is more of a being nice and not actually required. Most companies won't give you any more notice than they're legally required to. Therefore, I have no problem with people giving them the legally minimum notice.

But overall, you'll find there are many times where you just need to force yourself to work. This is probably a skill you should learn if you need a job to survive.

>Are services to people on Medicaid provided at a cost and effectively subsidized by others?

Basically, I don't think we would have started a clinic if we assumed 100% of patients would be paying $40/hr.

>are clinics just maximizing their profit margins by charging as much as they can since there are no incentives to decrease prices (insurance companies don't have that much interest in lowering overall costs since they can just raise the premiums).

Yes. We charge $250/hr, and the insurance company adjusts it to $125/hr. (Note for anyone in medical, yes these are called units and aren't per hour, but I simplified it for better understanding)
I fully agree on this! Like the Zen of Python says: explicit is better than implicit. You should not expect your teammates know all "special" behavior of the language and if you can write it more straightforward, you should in that case. Guess Kyle mentiones the same about JavaScript in his books. You are right about that. Perhaps that should be a nice addition to the post. I do believe though, it is good to be familiar with this behavior in case you ever come accross such situation.
I was about to consider an interview coach or just somebody to look at who I am, my resume, online presence and all that and give me very honest feedback. I thought that what I am lacking is a good idea of who I am and I how I present myself. Have you tried anything like that?

Because now the type of join is an argument on the "join" operation, and join is the first word of that statement making it more obvious what the operation actually is? I also prefer foo(bar) over "bar to foo()" as well, which seems like the equivalent in a more general purpose function call in a language example.
It does, but you're not really allowed to use it at scale. Open whisper systems has repeatedly threatened to play cat and mouse games with any third party distribution based on reproducible builds and lock them out.

They are fully entitled to do that of course, as it is their system. But that makes it far less useful for hobbyists.

Hash and sign functions usually don't allow reversal of those operations. Attestation doesn't require more cryptography.

It's kinda silly to start discussing implementation details of something that doesn't exist. Not to mention considering the alternative which is quite a bit more invasive than having an attested private pseodoidentity would be.
Actually enforced regulation. GDPR, right to repair, stricter laws around advertising, forced interoperability, enforcement of existing laws against malware/spyware.
To rephrase, you're saying that US companies are able to more quickly divest from failed ideas so they are more willing to take on a venture that's not likely to succeed (risky) because failure will not hurt them as much (less risky).

This is a scoping issue, the action contains the risk because the system has mitigated it.
Yes obviously everything happens for a “reason.” However I’m talking about the majority that internalizes that phrase as indicating there’s some predetermined sequence of events and stars aligning whatever.

Not the “since everything happens for a reason, let me inquire and dig deeper to figure out what was the cause” person. And my point was I’m surprised more people don’t attribute things to random chance cuz it’s an easy out. Again, not the people that actually care about finding things out, Im talking about the astrology type
If the goal is students, then the best would be a tool not only detects AI. But where you can submit previous writing and see how likely it is they wrote a similar text, not so much if it was llm generated.
Sigh. A lot of the arguments here amount to "there is no heuristic that's 100% correct, so heuristics are useless". That's not how that works.

TA ultimately is supposed to give you insight into how the overall market is currently thinking about a specific stock. Of course it doesn't work by itself, because yes, new info changes attitudes.

And yes, some heuristics are worse than others. Some are more sophisticated than others. But they help paint a picture.

Sometimes, the picture is "hey, the market seems currently full of people making irrational decisions, they all disagree with me". That's a signal you look at your fundamental assumption to figure out if you're the fool, or they are. That's where TA makes sense. It's a way to highlight where to look, not a way to make decisions.

In the complete absence of any other analysis? Probably not so much. Though I'd certainly love to see more thorough backtesting than one stock, one metric.
1: I attended every department team building meeting we hosted every weekday morning.

2: I hosted every company-wide team building meeting every Tuesday morning.

3: I attended every quarterly week-long retreat for department team building.

We use SQL for a lot of things, almost all of them implementation of customized business rules. When attempting to develop a business rule that needs to manifest as a single SQL query, your brain is forced to work in a very particular crystalline way. Many business rules are defined in procedural terms at requirements time, so having a way to implement them in the same could be beneficial.
I use Chat GPT basically in lieu of google for programming questions now, with the caveat that you need to check its work. It's good at skimming through documentation, but I don't trust it to really write code. For newer things I use bing chat since it has access to more current information.
Sigh, why do his qualifications matter… You should be asking if his argument is sound and backed by evidence instead. People with PhDs have been wrong many times in the past.
Yep.

A chain of trust is one way to solve this problem. Chains of trust aren't perfect, but they can work.

But if you're going to build a chain of trust that relies on humans to certify they used a non-tampered-with crypto camera, why not just let them use plain ol cameras. Adding cryptosigning hardware just adds a false sense of security that grifter salespeople will lie and say is 'impossible to break', and non-technical decision makers wont understand the threat model.

> if we reduce emmissions to zero this year, it still results in +1.5 C increase by the end of the century

this is non-sense according to the ipcc models

for 1.5C, we still have a budget of 200BN tonCO2e

for 2C, we have about 1TN tonCO2e

for 2.5C, 2TN ton, is within current trajectory of progress

we currently emmit about 50BN tons/annum

All of the above are bad, but degrees (ha! pun!) matter

Correction: you cannot get fired ("Entlassung") without any reason in Austria, you need rather strong reasons to fire somebody[0], but your employment contract can be terminated with a notice period anytime* ("Kündigung")[1]. The notice period is 6 weeks at minimum by law (6-12 weeks is common in startups by employment contract) and includes "Postensuchtage"[2], which allow you to use 20% of your time during the notice period however you want.

*: every 1st or 15th of the month is common

> But not all mission statements are meaningless, and not all attempts by executives to create a family-like culture come from a bad place.

Executives that make promises to their employees they can't deliver on should know better. You can't create a "family" out of your company because the realities of running a business make that impossible. It's fine to encourage mutual respect, etc as cultural values but it's important to make clear where the boundaries are or people will be hurt (either financially or emotionally) when you can't deliver. Saying the company is "like a family" is blurring these lines, not making them clear.

Edit: That's not even mentioning how "we're like a family" usually means "we're like a TV family". Many real families sometimes fight, swear at each other, say fucked up, sometimes racist/sexist/etc, things, talk about politics and religion, etc. Most larger companies would not tolerate any of this.

Not sure why people are eager to believe literally some guy on the internet. Maybe the people are afraid to believe the other guys, you know, the ones published in Nature.
Isn't that what this and other papers say - that AMOC is doomed to collapse, it's just a matter of time? I'm not sure I'd equate AMOC collapse to industrial civilization collapsing.

My understanding with climate change is that we have signed up for a lot already, but much more is on the way if we don't make big changes faster. Humanity is a crisis-motivated species. The trouble with climate change is the effects so far have nearly no impact on power. If AMOC were to shut down in 2030 devastating Europe's economy, that could be the wake-up call to everyone to actually stop fossil-burning ourselves to doom for short-term conveniences.

Yeah, you're too deep in it.

The natural rate of wildfire is about 5x higher than current levels, despite what breathless journalists will push. Check out this chart [1] before modern forest "management" kicked in.

Modern conflagrations are a result of decades of snuffing out small fires.

Also, I live in Arizona and I'm pretty sick of people telling me it's getting hotter. Its not. Our record temperature was set in 1990 [2]. The news claims that every year is "record breaking" by using a different metric every time. Last year it was "number of days over X degrees" this year it's "Average nightime lows" which is more affected by the growing urban heat-island effect than climate change, but I digress.

I got both Arc and SigmaOS and ended up splitting my time between the status quo, Firefox, and SigmaOS. SigmaOS is fast and has an interesting concept but I have two decades of muscle memory with Firefox and SigmaOS uses a completely different set of shortcuts, which are admittedly reasonable on paper.
> Why can't you generate a token for your own website, and then "replay it" to another? Because the token embeds the "challenge" which is random numbers selected by the server. The server compares the challenge in the token with the one it generated, usually it will statelessly hash something about the client connection like a cookie. So you can't just substitute a token from one site for another.

Your fake iPhone could talk to a cooperating server which presents the same challenge to a real iPhone. In fact, a service could accept challenges, instruct a friendly iPhone to request `/?code=$foo`, then return the friendly's iPhone token to the original client.
I don't recall where I heard it, but Netflix's own wording were "we're not a family; we're a team".
> Are there saturated v4 paths that have a less congested v6 alternative?

Every time I saw that kind of gain, it was mostly due to slow DNS and browsers or caches preferring IPv6 data.

The entire internet needs to optimize for one of those, as they some times conflict. And the obvious one to optimize for is the one that will keep working in the future. But those conflicts tend to be on accidental features at the margin; there is a small amount of problems caused by the large routing tables of IPv4, but on the main networking problems they were designed to behave almost the same.
It's less about it being difficult, and more about it being easy, obvious to read/write, and consistent within the new design. Was that not obvious?

Maybe it's my familiarity with R and the tidyverse paradigm, but I think in general this paradigm and syntax is pretty readable. The example you chose is perhaps a case where brackets and commas go a long way, but that aside it's really not too bad in context of the rest of the language. `:` seems to consistently be treated as keyword arguments, and `=` for aliasing.
Actions, not words.

From my experience, the more a company TALKS about being a family, the less it acts like one.

In order for the reverse osmosis membrane to function, you need a rigid pipe at atmospheric pressure, without water in it. The pressure difference inside/outside the pipe is what powers the desalination process.

While operating, it's basically a deep open well with a bit of water at the bottom. You need to pump that water out to keep the process going.
Not necessarily. While obviously it would be nice to not have to cool superconductors, it's not much of a technical challenge. Much more relevant is the strength of the magnets - fusion reactors need very strong magnets which is why they use superconductors, but there is still a limit to how strong they can be made. Unfortunately the higher temperature a material becomes a superconductor, typically the less able it is to handle strong magnetic fields. The extent depends on the type of material it is and there can be other benefits like smaller size that could justify using weaker magnets, so it is still possible it could help, but it's unlikely to be a game changer.

Big fan of this post! We link to it from PRQL website.

Our goal for PRQL is a great language to integrate with & build on. So we don't have N languages for N databases. Because PRQL will always be open-source, and won't ever have a commercial product, we think that's much more feasible than a DB-specific or product-specific language.
