Why would they invest in the office space for rent? It's not their core business, just a distraction. They might own their own offices, but that should be really tiny, by square footage and by $$.
The part about "that they really only wanted me if I disliked my current job enough to leave without an upgrade" was my impression as well after interviewing with Amazon.
>>This ice cream machine thing is, IMO, an obfuscated method of transferring more value from the ground level businesses to McD's corporate, via the Taylor machine vendor middleman. In other words, paying more rent.

I see this being insinuated since day 1, but after 2 years of lawsuits no document has surfaced during discovery to support this claim. I realize absence of proof isn't proof of absence, but given how much this piece of evidence will help Kytch's case, if not in court of law then in the court of public opinion, I'm inclined to tentatively conclude no such malfeasance has occurred.
Like many customary units, the ton (of cooling) is tied to historical accidents and I dare say is easier to imagine for a layperson; one could visualize the coolness rushing off a cubic-meter block of ice in a room, and how quickly it would melt depending on the temperature. 12000 BTUs, in the other hand, is not as intuitive (and the BTU itself is a customary unit, which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit).

And further, I guess there's just not much to be gained by going metric and saying "14 kilowatt AC unit" vs. "4-ton AC unit".
I've been using it exclusively on an M1 Mac for the last 2+ years. I was just at a startup where the entire team was deploying into T4 Arm instances in AWS. Two developers started on Windows machines, but at the end, every developer was on a Mac.

I have some workloads that I'm developing on my M1 Mac that I'm containerizing and pushing into an x64 Linux runtime environment in Google Cloud.

I guess this is my point: a lot of misunderstanding and misconception about the state of C# and .NET.
Just FYI, the website crashes my browser tab using Firefox. I see a white screen, and maybe "loading..." text if I try a few times.

To be fair they only care if you don't show up with a credible insurance policy that makes sure they get compensated for technology failures. Which in the context of a transmission grid operator could be several million dollars per incident.

Obviously any company will want to avoid even a tiny risk of incurring several million dollars of costs in a few seconds, so it's fair to expect the liability be on the solution provider.

It's easy to maintain an unfair political system, as long as your base of support is better off than some underclass. It makes them feel valued and special, all while your hand's in their pocket.

In Toronto other reasons cyclists don't use the bike lane and instead use the sidewalk asking pedestrians to get out of their way:

- Need to walk their dog using their bike and don't want their dog in the bike lane.

- Can't be bothered to cross the road to the right side and instead bike on the sidewalk to avoid other cyclists coming head on in the bike line on this side.

- They just feel like it.

100% true story, I had a cyclist yell at me and call me names because I had the audacity to stop walking across the intersection as the cyclist blew through the red like at 30km/h. I suppose stopping to avoid getting hit by them interrupted their "flow" who knows.

A small number of cyclists seem to have all the excuses for bad behaviour, but it doesn't make it ok. We need the infrastructure for cyclists, and bad behaviour by some is not a reason not to build it. But cyclists could definitely do more to be safe around pedestrians and at least try to live with drivers.

Personally, when I cycle I obey all the stop lights and stop signs, I don't bike on the sidewalk, and instead of making a left I go through the intersection and wait for the light to change because my life is worth much more to me than trying to make some political show by blocking traffic in a left turn lane. It's just crazy dangerous doing that, even when there is a dedicated bike area for left turns. Blocking traffic won't make drivers any safer.
Frankly, the SEC is probably feeling their way around too. They have an internal model of what is and isn’t lawful and they sue based on that. But that’s their internal model, not the actual law - as decided by politicians and the courts. Their internal model will be revised based on court rulings.

Frankly, these crypto bros seem to be trying to get the SEC to publicly contradict themselves, and plan to use that as ammo to turn the court of public opinion against them, but the SEC isn’t interested in playing their game.
Thanks for the link, I think I ride with a similar style in the city, but I wasn't aware there is a word for it.

It shall be done! we already have the OTel formatting ready to go, but focused on these platform specific adapters for launch. In fact, Lightstep and Honeycomb adapters are fairly thin wrappers around the OTel formatting we do out of our instrumentation layer.

When talking about the voltage of US residential service, and the devices that use it, 240 and 220, and 120 and 110 are functionally the same. The house theoretically has 240v and 120v power, but voltage may sag throughout the home's wiring, and some outlets will a real voltage reading lower than 240/120.
There is effectively no speed limit in many rural areas in the US as it's unmonitored that far from cities. It's not uncommon to get passed by a pickup, with a grill literally 6 feet in the air, going either 130 km/h or slowing to a near stop right before it passes you and then going as fast as it can and "rolling coal" [1].

You may have misunderstood, I’m saying the statistic is wrong. The closest I could find from their link was 13 cyclist deaths and 95 pedestrian deaths totaling 108 for the year for the region.

I’m not saying deaths are ok, just that the number is shocking because it’s wrong.
I think Hamming's book is more appropriate for juniors. I found it rambling and obvious. How do others feel?
> I'd like to see a new regulatory regime that allows individual health care providers like doctors, nurses, etc to start their own practices that are cash only.

This is a non-starter because older people with Medicare coverage - the people who get sick more often - would have to pay their Medicare premium, supplement premium, and the cash price.

In principle, I agree with you, sort of. Going to an immediate care center in my town for example costs $100 if you pay cash, but if you have insurance, they bill $300 and the insurance pays $100-150 (the rest gets written off). My suspicion, but I don't know this for sure, is that when a hospital bills say $1000 and the insurance pays $300, the hospital gets to take the $700 difference as a loss, ie, it lowers their taxes. So in this case instead of having to pay income taxes on $300, the hospital gets a tax deduction for $400. Anyone know if that is the case?
Funny thing is: declarative access to websites still allows for plenty of mischief if one wanted to do it. I’ve actually seen malicious extensions abuse that. Browsers might have to revisit the decision to ignore declarative access as far as the permission prompt goes.
So, front end is insanely valuable for user-centric services. Just think of the number of successful services/applications that are no more than very refined UIs on top of boring backend technology. If you want to get 1M active users, a whiz-bang front-end on top of a PHP server is more likely to get you there than the inverse.

In an agency setting, oftentimes you have no choice in the backend tech you have to work with. You usually sit with clients and work with then on how to design and implement the best possible experience with what they have. But your value is not in how marketable your particular technical depth is - good decision making and bedside manner with clients are what you make money off of.

So the easy path is: work within an agency -> develop a body of client work -> leverage your body of work and connections to start your own (smaller) agency. Or, even start in a corporate job where they prioritize frontend work.

But as some general career advice, if you treat your own skillset as a commodity, markets will happily treat it as one.
That depends heavily on the organization. Our works council technically approves hires but realistically has little influence on most decisions

The stakes are actually higher for the ice cream machine. Inproper use of the ice cream machine could kill dozens. A pacemaker malfunction would just kill one at best.

It's why airliners need to have triple redundant systems, doubke fault tolerant. Medical devices only need to be double redundant, single fault tolerant.

I (dont) love it when people whonhave not ever designed a real medical device that's actually on the market make claims about what it's like to design a real medical device that's actually on the market.

It’s not looking for a reason besides the objective one, it’s trying to find the reasons behind the objective one.

Many commenters like to slight of hand their possibly objective comments about calories as making their comments about moral or will-power failings just as objective, when it’s not a transitive property.
The newer C features that you're most likely to feel the lack of in an older compiler are:

1) Mixed declarations and code. All variables must be declared at the top of a basic block.

2) Along similar lines, declaring variables in control statements like for().

3) // comments. (Hardly a critical feature, but you're probably used to having them.)

Perhaps not coincidentally, I think these were all features which began their life in C++, and were backported to C in C99.
> not eating slows down your metabolism

Starvation mode is a myth. Well, kinda. You do enter "starvation mode" where your metabolism significantly slows down, but only if you're actually starving. Simply eating in a caloric deficit will not do anything to your metabolism.

The beginning of this article talks about that in great detail:

Tesla to turn on massive and expensive 10k unit Nvidia H100 GPU cluster
How old. What you describe sounds like it was built before 1970 and never updated to modern standards. Since the wire is often in okay shape few consider it worth the cost to replace it even though it really can't supply enough power for modern uses. (often you have to replace it all as if you touch it the insulation will break and then it isn't okay)
From https://www.fastcompany.com/90923565/congress-mcdonalds-ice-...:

The incentives here are all aligned against quick repair: Taylor makes more money when machines are broken. McDonald’s corporate has a lucrative service contract with Taylor. As a result, poor franchisees, who have no choice about what equipment to buy or how to service it, are forced to deal with broken machines and annoyed customers.

Considering that a nobody like myself has "real estate" in his portfolio, I have no doubt that people at Jassy's level have stakes in all kinds of businesses that will benefit from RTO.

Commercial RE is just one of them. They could have Airbnb/rental properties, restaurants, franchise fast food, private car services.
Sure, that’s the MVP. But we all know where it’s going.

I’m not saying that’s a good or bad thing, just pointing out the technology won’t stop there.
Linux Distros, these days especially, are a paint of coat and tire size difference between each other. You make it sound like someone running Fedora (a significant slice of those in the "Other" category) is having a drastically different experience to those using Manjaro, Ubuntu and Pop_OS!.
Hopefully new games will prioritize Linux/SteamOS over Mac, I am still checking games and see them only supporting Win/Mac and Proton rating is not perfect and could at any time fail if game updates.
> There's plenty to disagree with RMS on, but he's absolutely right that Linux is not an OS; it's a kernel.

Why bother posting who's opinion it is if you think it will cause disagreements? (curious)
Ha. I barely recall details (it was 30 years ago) but I remember there was a trick to somehow run Windows 3.x to make the game believe your system had more RAM that it actually did. Don't remember details, but remember it _mostly worked_ (swapping was an issue and some games would not work). This - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20160328-00/?p=93... - explains it.

I believe I had to do that to run some games in SVGA mode. It might've been KKND or some other game...
If I had a periodic need for three phase power on-site, I would just purchase (or rent) a generator that can provide this style of output.
Exactly, it's what they're selling (consistency and management).

What I don't agree with is the proprietary lock out. Franchise owners should be able to replace the pump header with generic options.
Formal and/or scheduled meetings are not the only and often not the most effective way of communication between team members. Highly effective teams often have a lot of informal interactions between team members by various means of communication not restricted to one-on-one talks or small group meetings before white boards. I know many introvert developers that rather write a detailed comment on an issue raising some discussion points than have a discussion on the subject. In a highly effective team, the team members know the strong and weaknesses of fellow team member and are often able to arrange things without having to rely on regular scheduled meetings and/or stand-ups.
tbf the biggest factor is not steamos, it‘s dxvk, wine and proton , which basically is in itself „an os“ on top of the kernel. It basically brings „windows wrappers“ for Linux with „minimal dependencies“.*

I don’t think this is an issue for Linux gaming.

Basically everyone is using something Debian/Ubuntu-based or Arch-based. If you can install a flatpak or Debian package you’re pretty much golden (which includes Fedora users, who can install flatpaks).

Vulkan is pretty much the graphics API standard for the entire Linux ecosystem.
I make and repair machines, you have tons of restaurants.

You mandate that franchises have to buy my machines, and only me can service them.

We both benefit economically from this agreement.

Also, machines enter in service mode without needing it just to give me more business.
This was clearly a large-scale coordinated effort spanning multiple countries, multiple organizations within the US including DOJ lawyers, named and unnamed industry partners, etc. This is not a context in which a single group could do unethical clandestine things without the knowledge and buy-in of other parties, nor would it be something the FBI team working this case would have any incentive to do. They were tasked with dismantling this botnet and removing the malware from victim machines, and that is what they did.
I've also seen these awful interminable standups. But i've also seen quick and effective standups, even on a big team. The difference is simply discipline.

If you ask a developer to talk about what they did yesterday, their instinct will be to waffle on, go into all sorts of interesting details, reflect on decisions they made, voice various concerns, etc. If you ask a whole team what they did, and they follow their instincts, you will have a long, boring, low-value meeting.

If the developers have a discipline of reporting only the most important things they can fit into two minutes - whether through self-discipline, or discipline imposed by a strict and heartless overlord - then you will have a short and effective meeting.

Discipline does not appear out of thin air! It has to be intentionally cultivated or imposed. Many teams don't do either. I think some just don't understand that this discipline is required; it simply doesn't occur to them that they should avoid waffling, because every standup they've ever seen is full of waffling. Others intellectually understand that they should follow that discipline, but their brain hasn't connected to their glands, so they don't actually do it, and they don't have a leader cruel enough to impose it.

The best example i have seen was at my first full-time programming job. We ended up with a team of about twenty developers, mostly senior. There was a tendency to waffling. Luckily, our team lead was an absolute bastard, who had no problem controlling it. First rule, stand in a circle. Second rule, stand next to the person you paired with yesterday. Third rule, if you are the first in your pair to speak, you have two minutes to say what you did and anything that others should know. The boss will have a timer running, and will cut you off without ceremony at the two minute mark. Fourth rule, if you are the second in your pair to speak, say "nothing to add", unless you do, in which case do it quickly. Fifth rule, if you have something you desperately want to say that will take you over two minutes, tell people you will send an email about it. Twenty people, ten pairs, twenty-minute standup, like clockwork.

So, if you are suffering from long and waffling standups, and if you also have retros, raise it at the retro. Ask people "do you think standups are too long?". Await the chorus of agreement. Tell them that the only solution is to strictly limit the amount of time people speak for. Some will complain that they have too many important things to say to be limited. Remind them that a limit is the only solution. Some will still complain. Bully them into submission or have them fired. Go on to enjoy fast and satisfying standups.

Plus, afaik Star Citizen is the only other game out there that has an equivalent of the "flight assist off" model (that is, has the option of allowing a spaceship to be flown more like a spaceship than a plane).

That toggle adds so much depth and skill to combat in Elite, it's a shame it isn't a more common thing in space games (also a shame that Elite itself doesn't really take advantage of it).
The underlying problem is that the "don't repeat yourself" principle is often in conflict with the "single responsibility principle". Structurally, this comes down to the problem of managing dependencies. Over the years, the problem of dependency management has become bigger and more difficult to tame.

The same problem holds for internal code as well as external code. Duplicating code creates one kind of dependency problem (feature drift). Shared code creates another kind of dependency problem (increased coupling). Broadly speaking, solutions which reduce coupling are going to be cheaper to maintain.

Ideally, there would be clear, well defined layers with narrow communication protocols.

"Why can't I pull a small wagon with a team of ducks? I can pull a large wagon with a team of horses."

Useful answers: Ducks are not as intelligent as horses and aren't as easy to train. There is not a good way to strap a harness onto a duck for this task. Ducks waddle and this introduces turbulence. Ducks have substantially less pulling power. etc.

Useless answer: A duck is not a horse because a duck is different from a horse.

This is partially done to compensate for terrible wiring. Lots of people are fond of using small wires and going long distances leading to a lot of voltage drop. They often send 125v or so from the transformer which is 123-124 at the panel, 120 v or so at the receptacle, and >100v after someone decides to run something on a few hundred feet of #18 extension cord.

So I've been messing with beta alanine (BA) and it causes a mild form of pruritus' no where near as extreme as nicotinic acid on an empty stomach.

I've been messing with manganese chloride recently and this dampens down the pruritus experience. But up until this morning I was under the impression from some studies that BA increases SOD. Today however I found some studies which claim it increases something called TAC and glutathione and not SOD.

So back to looking into SOD in more detail and this seems to be a metalloenzyme, which seem to start with zinc and one of 4 amino acids, cysteine, histidine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid.

This is the problem with studies from different parts of the world, they make assertions which might be inaccurate because of when the scientist(s) was/were taught, and what that country/uni was teaching at the time or last "updated".

There are so many theories in biology, its hard to know what to believe, and thats before I get into the false assertations made using links to other studies, where I've actually clicked the link to check the assertation and the study has made no such assertion, if not the opposite!

Maybe if you could identify the cause of the crash that might give you a clue.
I've always found turning the AC on to chill the room would wake me up, thats the adrenaline kicking in from the cold.

Its difficult to say for some things like this. Maybe start with a zinc supplement and see what cravings arise from there. Stepping up the zinc after a week 5 or 10mg and go from there. If you get no cravings, try supplementing with cysteine, histidine or aspartic acid and see what happens.

Thats all I do, and then see what studies exist to support my experiences.
