This is enormously true. You know it's true, intellectually. So did I, before it happened to me. But after November 2014, I knew it MUCH MORE INTIMATELY.

I broke my hip cycling, at 44. This is not an easy thing to do at 44, apparently, short of car crashes or explosions, but we were going (too) fast in the rain, and the person in front of me lost their line and went down, and I swerved to avoid running over them, and lost control and went down hard without being able to shed any speed first.

I say "broken hip" but they were pretty consistent about noting that what I had was a "high energy fracture of the femoral neck." Apparently, a "broken hip" is what happens if you're 75 and slip in the shower, but it's the same bone either way. A plate and several pins put me back together, but I couldn't put any weight on the leg for THREE MONTHS, using a walker. Even after PT, I used a cane well into the following summer -- ironically, because of atrophy, not the actual injury.

It was a life-changing period of time for me. I was already pretty aware of accessibility needs -- my mom was a physical therapist in her working life -- but you don't notice the little things until it's YOUR skin in the game.

The two best weeks of my recovery period were actually weeks we were out of town. See, we live in a three-story townhouse in an urban area. It's not big; it's just tall. That's no bueno if you can't really walk.

However, at Christmas we spent a week with my mother and stepfather in the home they had modified years before intending to live there until they died. The main hallway was wide enough to maneuver with my walker. The master bath was 100% accessible. And it was all on one level.

Then, towards the end, we took a cruise. We'd thought we were going to have to bail on it, but my surgeon pointing out "you know, you can rent wheelchairs on cruise ships, and it's really cheap." He was right; it cost me like $120 for the week, and I could GO ANYWHERE AND DO ANYTHING all on my own for the first time since before the accident. Think about it; what's more accessible than a vacation mode traditionally popular with older people?
I am not clear on what conclusions we are discussing exactly.

* 20kg-30kg makes sense for an untrained person's first lift, it sounds like we agree. With DL you need some plates on the bar to get the right height so 5kg bumper plates or something is common.

* All of this is still way below the numbers even for beginners on the site you linked, which again I stress, is a self-selected group of people who were hardcore enough to opt into a performance tracking app of some kind, this is way different from the general population.

* I actually don't agree that the vast majority of people could just bust out, let's say, 10 reps at 30kg of any lift. Women and older men who have never lifted? I really doubt it. A year ago it was hard for me to do 10 body weight squats, no bar no nothing, and most of my middle aged friends who have never exercised are probably still in the same boat. 40% of the US is obese... I think this perspective is biased basically towards young men (lets say under 40).

It doesn't work like that. Web browsers do not count actual pixels when rendering. They adjust high density pixels to the equivalent real life size of low density pixels.
Interesting, I didn't have a problem with that - maybe it's because my monitor is calibrated juuuust right so I can see the extremely-light-gray bar behind the red slider? Maybe making that more visible and making the slider not blend in with the red background of the year would be enough?
I think you're right and I probably came over a bit strong in how likely I made out companies would be to use that level of scale. The point I was trying to make was more that because using something like RDBMS (maybe + VMs or something for data science) has a hard ceiling in terms of scale, even if companies are really unlikely to hit that ceiling, there is a weird incentive structure.

The costs of databricks or snowflake are really high, but probably not enough to bankrupt a company or division. If you're a small to midsize company and you realise you can't compute on your data, that could cause much more serious issues. Even if those issues are only feasible 1/100 times, it's a pretty scary risk to expect a CTO to ignore.
I think about this a lot as I get older. what I've realized is that being young (like under 30) is a pretty big deviation as far as physiology goes. the rest of life is a long slow decline, so you gotta set yourself up to manage it.
Am I the only one who is annoyed by those? It's a minor thing but it's just another little piece of annoying hand-holding distraction that web designers seem to like.

Got Tinnitus from working as a concert photographer. It's not so bad. I've learned to live with it. But yeah... It's permanent. So, to not make it worse, I've bought protection that I carry with me when I go to loud clubs or concerts. I use it religiously. Highly recommended! Especially if you work in a bar or club, or in some capacity at concerts. Do it now, because Tinnitus doesn't go away. Some of them are very discrete, but if you like making a splash there are ones that look quite stylish as well.

If you average a bunch of different types of galaxies, you do not get a blackbody.

Do you know what does give you a blackbody? An optically thick medium with a uniform temperature, which is what the CMB "last scattering surface" is.

I just have one question for you: do you think that physicists are all a bunch of dunces? You're doing extremely simple questions. Do you think that physicists haven't worked out the basics of the theory? Again, instead of raising extremely simple objections, your time would be better spent understanding the theory first.

>> For example, conservation of energy does not hold in General Relativity.

Energy conservation only holds locally, when space is nearly flat. The true conservation law in General Relativity is more complicated (energy-momentum conservation).
Author of the post here.

Logistically, it's a _lot_ harder for a person/team to organise a conference in a location they don't live in. There's logistics of venue, payments to vendors if you're organising food/travel/hotels, you might have volunteers for registration, information, etc. and it's easiest to find those in your local community. And finances across borders are anothe huge wrinkle.

It's not impossible, but certainly adds significant complexity.

When I just want the ability to go as fast as conventional readable C++, I use C# instead. Compared to conventional C++, C# is typically only slightly worse in terms of performance. C# is safer than Rust, and the usability is IMO an order of magnitude better. Just the compilation speed is already a huge contributing factor.

I use C++ for 2 main reasons, integration with other software or libraries, and performance.

When I need the performance, I don’t write conventional C++. I implement custom data structures, usually use vector intrinsics, sometimes use other platform intrinsics like BMI2, sometimes implement custom threading strategies on top of OpenMP or other platform-supplied thread pools. Most of these things are impossible or very hard to express in idiomatic safe Rust, which means the language constantly gets in the way.

Also, most programs contain both performance critical and performance agnostic pieces. When both pieces have non-trivial complexity, I typically use both C# and C++ for the software. Often the frontend part is in .NET, and the performance-critical backend is in C++ DLL.

My fiance had intercranial hypertension. Which is a complex way of saying "we don't know the root cause of why your spinal fluid is causing so much pressure in your head that you want to take a ice pick and poke a hole in it!" which also decreases EVERYTHING due to brain pressure, so more tired, less ability to think, less sensitive to all senses, less emotional control (especially because you're in constant pain / fear of sudden motions causing a lot of pain).

That's exactly what I'm doing. And indeed another reason why I feel embarrassed by JSON. I mean, we -the industry- have been doing financial data transport over computer networks, for how long now? fifty years? And we keep "inventing" transport formats that unsolve issues that have long been solved and done. XML had this solved[1]. Hell, even the ancient MT940[2] had this solved.

> but we no longer have a CLA so relicensing or dual licensing is off the table.

Why is it off the table? Email your contributors and ask if anyone objects. If they object or don't reply, you can probably rewrite the code they contributed, or argue it's too small/trivial to justify a copyright claim. To be blunt, it's extremely unlikely someone is going to sue or even raise a stink over a small contribution. It's more work than if you had a CLA, yeah, but it's not off the table.

If you have time available, consider taking an entry level inside-sales job for a few weeks or months.

They're typically OK with short term, because anyone can do the job. It just takes being able to tolerate making 100-200 phone calls per day.

A little sales experience is helpful, especially when it comes to how to present a product and how to create a strategy to overcome objections to why a person doesn't want to buy.

It will also help you get used to confidently presenting ideas to strangers--despite & becoming immune to-- the risk of rejection.
Sounds more reckless than anything. What happens when the boat sinks and they have no raft or life vests? What happens when they can’t avoid other traffic because their engine doesn’t work? What about the chickens that were sent to the slaughter because of their carelessness?
Don't understand the downvotes because I get exactly what you're saying -- it's like poking around in the data for an LLM and expecting to find a written language algorithm. Taking things further -- I think it's unlikely that much of the brain's operating software came via DNA. It's mostly machine learned from the environment and other humans. We call this child development.
The OP is talking about things like media queries that only look at screen width and imply other things like input method from that.

IIRC SquareSpace does exactly what they're saying: on desktop sites will have a horizontal list of links but on mobile it's a hamburger icon that takes over the entire viewport when clicked. Functionality exists to target pointer type and things like that in media queries, it's just very rarely used.

And for an example that does it better, legacy.reactjs.org :)

When I saw it I wondered how they managed to drop the ball so hard and how much they paid for it. All they needed is to expand and slightly restructure the docs, but apparently someone sold them a complete redesign that just made the whole docs way less usable (a11y aside, can't speak for that).
I installed task-spooler just now, because I’ve been wanting something like this for a long time.

It looks like the actual name of the task-spooler command on Debian after install is “tsp”, not “ts”. So no collision :)

Now it just remains to be seen if the package by default allows the tasks to continue to run after I log out, or if systemd will annoyingly kill the tasks after I disconnect from ssh the same way systemd annoyingly kills my “screen” sessions when I disconnect ssh, and there is some cumbersome thing you have to do on each of your systems to have systemd not kill “screen” :(

That's a great idea to make the recruiter actually look at your profile and ensure it indeed matches the offer. Too many lazy recruiters do a simple linked-in search and bulk email everyone who matches.

I had a "great offer - perfect fit for your skillset" notice from a recruiter recently, describing me as a "standout candidate" and urging me to apply. I read the description and replied back "which part of the position makes me the "standout candidate?" is it the complete lack of alignment in skills? (they wanted a javascript dev, I'm a former C/C++/C# dev that transitioned to BA then Product Owner for the past decade.) Maybe it's the "easy commute" of only 9 hours 45 minutes each way? (the job is in northern Ohio, I'm in central North Carolina!)
Sadly this recruiter never responded. Missed opportunity. If they came back with a humorous response (e.g. "oops! That's our mistake, but let us tell you about something else...") I might have continued to work with them. Instead, I just added to my block list.
I personally have tried and agree with L-Theanine to reduce coffee anxiety without killing its alertness power, and anxiety certainly spikes a day after a night out drinking. But I think we are missing here the most important levers; 1) a steady regimen of well-scheduled exercises and injury-preventing recovery work, 2) a well-scheduled nutritionally balanced diet free of inflammatory products. Julia Ross’s The Mood Cure goes into specifics for the latter, for example sufficient L-Tryptophan is important for a feeling of well-being. I think scheduling is key because stress increases with energy unpredictability.
A few years back, I recall reading about some automotive manufacturers who had just copied an example "airbag arming authorization" code/value that appeared in a shared spec document (IIRC) for their vehicles. There was a Metasploit module created (for the Hardware Bridge) that would send CAN bus messages to just check/verify if a particular vehicle uses this insecure arming code. For vehicles using this known code, an attacker with CAN bus access could deploy airbags on an unsuspecting target during vehicle operation. https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2017/12/22/metasploit-wrapu...
I read it slightly differently: those 60% can set one of the other values and the default value no longer exists but is simply the default so the 40% who previously had to set that value now don't.
If you don't have any other contributors, you're free to offer any license to anyone you'd like. Simply not accepting contributions will do the trick; you don't also need a CLA in that situation. It doesn't make sense to have a CLA for a project that doesn't accept contributions.
I answered where that comes from, not if it is part of the license (it isn't).
Yes, because it is moving scavenged heat to where it is useful. So 1/4 of the energy comes from the electricity, the other 3/4 from ambient atmosphere.

> it’s not tradition to write citations for tools used to conduct research.

Thia is true, but it also makes it very hard for academics and PhD students who mainly write software over papers. They get no citations and eventually have to leave academia.

If we had a better practice of citing central software we use - at least the academic software that wants to be cited - we could have a more flourishing ecosystem of such software funded by the universities.

> I take a more neutral approach on the finding and don’t yet assume this is something that is best medicated out of.

Is it possible for an individual to do ET, or indeed other therapy in combination with medication, to study the change in this response? I tend to agree that we (collectively) should not look at these results and immediately look for a drug to change it; after all, that’s how we arrive at a popular culture that thinks depression is a chemical imbalance (it’s not), so it would be nice to be able to use these findings in conjunction with therapies that focus on a person’s ability to change their own mind.
I'd guess one would use a voice recorder to practice the skill, that way you get pretty fast feedback on how to make the right sounds in reverse. As a child I practiced to say my name in reverse, as the voice recorder in Windows 3.1 (or 95?) was an obvious invitation to play around with. It could reverse, slow-down or speed-up (Mickey mouse voice!), and gave you a visual feedback.
