there's a new roundabout currently under construction about 200m from my house. i can hear the construction equipment working early in the morning and mid-afternoon when the road is quiet, but 90% of the time the construction noise is completely drowned out by the normal road noise, from the road on the far side of the roundabout. construction noise from a dozen pieces of heavy equipment working all day just isn't a significant source of noise compared to a moderately busy road. not to mention that in a few months the construction will be done, but the road will always be there.

"people shouting" and "loud music" don't even factor.
Pretty interested about this since I want to upgrade my hardware soon, do you have any sources (for both brands)?
It bothers me so much that zfs is not into mainline linux. I know it’s due to the license incompatibility… :(
So you saw how they said 'we eventually turned things around' and then put the blame on themselves for bad branding.

I'm not sure if you know what 'cope' means. Or 'reading' for that matter.

It seems like you're confusing sentience with intelligence or some other related concept. Sentience is the mental state of subjectively experiencing sensations. The only time humans aren't sentient is during some stages of sleep, being knocked unconscious, general anesthesia, brain damage, etc.
idc about businesses using Twitter for comms but I have a huge problem with official govt agencies using it as their exclusive means of comms with citizens. I'm cool with Twitter being run into the ground if it helps us recognize the need/ develop a solution for a proper govt->citizen alerting system that doesn't involve proprietary and scummy businesses.

Same here. It has nothing to do with the CV. 20 years of experience as a Product Management leader. Google, Booking Group, Trip Group, SEA, my own startup, Stanford MBA, Berkeley, bla bla. Everyone keeps telling me I'd have something in no time. Easy!

I network, I get a bunch of bla bla meetings, the occasional 'interview'. Na. It's been a year. One wanted to offer me 80% less money. But even they didn't have headcount at the end. Today a headcounter from Singapore called me to 'chat' and told me he is leaving the industry and the country as everything has doubled in price. Why he called me, I don't know. I guess he needed to vent.

There's a tooooooooooon of fake job searches out there. A company in Australia interviewed me for a CPO role and a friend of mine through headhunters. Neither of us got hired. That's fine. Yet, no one else either. It's been 10 months. The company isn't REALLY looking. Huge waste of everyone's time. They just want to appear to be in the position of being able to hire.

Hundreds of applications, intros, talks. I'm a single gay man, no family, flexible, can move almost anywhere, can easily do fully remote or hybrid, whatever. But na. I got tired. There are no jobs anymore for experienced hires (at least for us folks outside the US. In my case APAC or AU). I'm in my mid 40s and basically forced into (very) early retirement. Trying to figure out alternative things to do so I don't get too bored and actually bring home some money again.

The goal of scientific work, is often not to confirm whether some effect exists - its often obvious it is, but to quantify the strength of the effect.

They have done exactly this in this in the study, in fact, along a number of dimensions. Though I won't comment on the validity of their statistics.
Publishers wouldn't choose papers and ink that smelled bad. There's a lot of ways to make paper and ink, so it's not that surprising that we'd eventually nail the aesthetics.
I did. The only time I end up there anymore is when the occasional post gets posted here or one turns up in my search results. Usually loaded up in my mobile browser, with super tiny text and ads blocked.

The funny thing is, before the brouhaha I wasn't even using a third party app to access the site or any 3rd-party platform (that I'm aware of) that used the API. I was using the native vanilla app and I found it just fine.

But, as a developer I could not in good conscience continue voting with my wallet by viewing ads for a company that clearly didn't care to play nice with the developers that were part of making the platform great.

I wouldn't say it is more or less difficult, it is just a lot of work that somebody or something has to do.

Just to take an example, that Excel clone is going to need a whole lot of icons which have to come from somewhere. If you're not picky about what they look like you can find some icon set like

https://icons.getbootstrap.com/

which I picked for my RSS reader because I am using Bootstrap CSS already which itself is a low-effort choice because I use Reactstrap at work. Somebody pickier could look at free and paid icon sets or hire a graphic designer which would involve a significant amount of talking about how you want it made.

I am mainly a coder but my exact responsibilities have varied a lot from place to place. YOShInOn, my RSS reader and intelligent agent, is a one-man show which eliminates the overhead of communicating about things but means I don't get the benefit of other people's insight. I worked at an academic library where my first assignment was to take a very detailed Photoshop comp and make HTML that looked exactly like it. In other places nobody told me how it was supposed to look, or it was obvious from the get-go that I was supposed to add a new field to this form and it is going to have look like the rest of the form. I worked at a web development company where I worked on about 70 web sites in 8 months and we did projects very fast and cheap and forms that we made from scratch always followed a style guide we called "spider forms" which meant we could get better-than-average results without spending much time thinking. Where I work now I don't make decisions about the database schema except when I do, other places I was basically a DBA.

So the point is a "coder" can have varying levels of responsibility for UX, business rules: they can get very vague descriptions of what it supposed to happen and they figure it out, or I can get very detailed storyboards for everything. One way or another a lot of design and planning work has to get done.

A "low code" or "no code" system, whatever technology it is based on, is going to have to have a lot of decisions already made for you within some particular domain. Most of the worlds' business applications involve filling out forms and updating a database. But you might want a toolkit for making games that look like The Legend of Zelda with very little coding, or maybe something for making applications that put objects into your space with a Hololens or Apple Vision.

You could bust out apps really quickly if you take the defaults in a domain but if you want to make something really special the sky is the limit for the talent involved. Take a look at the credits for a major video game for instance.
This is like that "research" where speakers of different languages percieve time in different ways.

I am not sure who funds this type of garbage but it shows that "science" is rifle with ridiculous findings.

Suppose their "findings" are true - do I as a dual language speaker remember visual scenes in both ways? Laughable at best. Expressing visual scenes in different ways is obvious, since different languages have different constructs, but that shouldn't be comflated with experience.

> After The Verge reported on the article and its highly inappropriate recommendation about “going into it on an empty stomach,” Microsoft senior director Jeff Jones told the publication, “This article has been removed and we are investigating how it made it through our review process.”

That wasn’t a recommendation. It was text from the food bank’s site seeking donations, as in imagine how hard the challenges of everyday life would be without enough to eat.

I'm very curious about the longevity of such a fluid, wouldn't there be issues with evaporation and particles falling to the bottom of the downstream station?
Incredibly on-point feedback. The CV is quite unfocused, too clever with invented terminology, and vacillates between professional and unprofessional. Boiled down to just the outcomes it could be solid, but even the "focused" versions are a bit all over the place.

Honestly, put all the hours spent on CV design towards trying to get coffee with useful people.
I wouldn't necessarily say organic is always better than paid, although that's a reasonable generalization. I think of it in terms of the yield curve - organic tends to be high quality but doesn't always scale. You drop your efficiency in the marketing media mix as you scale to reach a ROAS that meets the business need.

At the executive level you stop getting the kid gloves with the feedback (no feedback sandwich, no mincing words, very direct and to the point). The other thing that happens at the executive level is you stop getting direct feedback at all, so when someone spends the time to give you some direct feedback it is a gift to be treasured. As soon as you find a role you’re already on a PIP and often times the feedback you get will be from your exit interview.
G1000s are great, but it's disappointing that just about everything else has remained basically unchanged on GA aircraft for the last 30+ years. I hope that we will see some actual innovation in GA engines, airframes, and fuels soon. Fuels might be the most promising for the near-term.

How much front line experience do you have fighting organized false engagement campaigns, fraud, and other botting? Sprawling amounts of activity you see online is not genuine. I would not be surprised if 50% or more of the comments on Reddit and HN are not by sincere users given their complete lack of identity verification.

Businesses offer discounts through ID.me because they know it comes from a real buyer and doesn't have the 1-10% chance of being a fraud bot. Running your own email server and assuring your emails actually make to a user's inbox is nigh impossible, for a reason. More and more of the internet disappears behind the Cloudflare wall, for a reason.

Public facing services are under a relentless assault by organized, meticulous, and resourceful actors. That was before advanced AI that can read images better than some humans and large language models that destroyed the Turing test. SOTA abilities are fortunately expensive to build and run and kept close to the chest by OpenAI, Microsoft, and others, but that defensive wall will one day fall and the internet will need infrastructure and systems in place ready for it.
It's almost too good of a prediction since XAML is from 2008 and this article is from 2006 :)

(To be clear it means the article is likely _not_ from 2006 but from later like 2008-2010 since it mentions XAML)

OK I just read the CV and, wow, this is maximum cringe.

Some favorite parts:
- "Perfectly designed to kick your competitors' asses"
- "Jaw-dropping level of systematisation"
- the row of logos for various corporate buzzwords and concepts, two of which are so faded it's hard to tell what they're supposed to be

But the absolute peak, the cherry on top, is the claim "Zero corporate bullshit" in the section "ABC's of Me" (barf). This CV is -all- corporate bullshit down to the last pixel. It's like saying The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is PG-13. Like calling a ribeye steak vegetarian. Like North Korea calling itself democratic. You get the idea.
Can confirm. I also owned an Apple II+ in the 1970s and the disk drives were definitely an optional add-on.
I haven’t had any such problems across various WD drives. They have marketing shenanigans (what with the Red/Red Plus thing) but the drives themselves seem to be solid in my experience (haven’t tried any of their SSDs though).

I feel like back in the day, it was actually Seagate who had the bad reputation, but when recently looking at the Backblaze stats, it seemed that all three remaining brands (WD, Seagate and Toshiba) are solid.
Because if the value of 1 DKK relative to a euro declines, they will need to spend more on imported goods, travel, etc., and therefore less income for a potential mortgage.
You should look into a roll chart. It’s a small device typically mounted to a handlebar of a motorcycle that contains directions.

This is beyond frustrating, as Ampere servers (low power) are tailor made for on-prem compute. I like because I want my devs and data scientists doing green field stuff to have $0 marginal cost for compute. premature optimization being the root of all evil, and all that.

Have you checked out barbers in the Black parts of your town? African hair is very curly and though most men don't keep it long, it's common enough and many barbers know how to handle it.

If you're just looking for an even trim, then almost anyone should be able to do it. (And I usually clean my hair right before I go in.)
Demagnetizing a 1.44MB disk before formatting it and taping over that same hole was the inverse magic trick by the end of the 90s when it got harder to find the 720KB floppies.

Your simply mentioning the sensation was enough to distinctly bring it to mind. Having grown up by a beach, I've experienced it a lot, from childhood through to as an adult at different beaches around the world.

While a specific word for it may be useful, I don't see how it is necessary as an aid to recall of the sensation.

> Basically, CSAML is an alternative syntax for C# based on XML and, more specifically, on XAML, the Extensible Application Markup Language that plays such an important role in the forthcoming WinFX and the Windows Presentation Foundation.

Almost as if someone on the inside at MS would have knowledge of what was in development and decided to poke fun at it. 2008 was when it was released, it was in development prior to that.
> Both HTML, images, and other content types are all sent in the same manner in the body of the email.

This is not the case. In the case of an attachment, the message body is multipart/mixed, where one part is the actual message the sender typed and other parts are the attachments. In the case of an HTML email, the message body is multipart/alternative, where the parts are two or more representations of the actual message typed by the user.

If what you were saying were true, you wouldn’t be able to send an HTML document as an attachment to an email without it being interpreted as the message typed by the user. There is a clear difference between an attachment and the message itself; HTML email is the message itself, not an attachment.

This study [0] has a very small sample size and they found a significant difference only in a few of the variables they measured. 11 fewer individuals who got the booster in the opposite arm had CD8 T-cells 2 weeks afterwards than those who got it in the same arm.

They say that whether participants got the booster in the same or opposite arm was randomly assigned, but the odds of of the final ratio of same-arm to opposite arm happening by chance are just 4%, and the further odds of getting the ratio for the subgroup that had their CD8 T-cells measured given the full study's participants is 4.4%, for a combined probability of just 0.1%. This would seem to suggest there was some confounding variable that caused participants who got the booster in the same arm to preferentially drop out of the study or otherwise be removed from the dataset. For the full study group, the same-arm participants were on average younger and more likely to be female, the breakdown for the sub group of interest is not given. Again, this suggests some confounding variable.

While this warrants further study, I am unconvinced.

Depending on the posture adopted while resting, sleeping postures can either lessen or increase discomfort, which makes them important for controlling back pain. Millions of individuals throughout the world suffer from back pain, which has a variety of causes, including muscle strain, bad posture, accidents, and medical disorders. While there are many ways to treat back pain, such as medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications, changing one’s sleeping posture is a straightforward yet powerful strategy that can help.

Embedded firmware to run individual components is one thing and a software running on CPU for your entire car is another. My random 2016 Subaru is like this. I haven't needed to update any firmware on my cars parts since buying it. It just works as it is mostly mechanical. For a Tesla they apparently get software updates all the time like it constantly needs bug fixes.
Yeah I wish more modern retro games would embrace the mostly flat shaded polygon aesthetic of mech 2 and similar games. There's a certain 80's future cool to early polygon graphics before it all became texture-mapped hyper realism.
