It’s painful to read this style of attitude to the organ we know so little about. “Mental” health is no different from heart health— it’s a collection of cells, some chemicals, and a bit of electricity. If any of that goes wrong in your heart, do you have the same callous attitude?
I love how asked about weather it told me it doesn't have access to real-time weather, so I then asked what it can do, and it replied with weather forecast I asked for but couldn't read because immediately it replaced it with "I can do whatever", i.e. the reply to the second question. :D
Good for them. I'm glad they're looking out for themselves.

I've been in my job almost 25 years. I listened to my parents and older workers tell me not to use sick time because "you never know when you'll need it."

I've worked steadily 50+ hours a week for all that time. Most of that time I worked weekends. Yet, upon recent inspection, have used only 20 sick days over that two and a half decades. That includes a stint of 5 years where I used not one sick day.

I am burnt out, and because of my previous attitude, still find it hard to take a sick day. Every morning I wake up regretting it, I am constantly angry and everything - especially the job. I have no social life because I never took time off.

I wouldn't want anyone else to end up like this, and always relate my story. There are a hell of a lot of people out there that are probably the same.

Protect your physical and mental health folks. Use your sick time. Before you know it, one or the other is going to fail on you if you don't look out for yourself.

However, be careful, be smart. The article shows father and son at a ball game, implied on a sick day. People at my workplace abused this, and we now have managers checking at home to make sure the employee is truly sick and home.

The article mentions automakers losing a lot of money due to sick employees, if they find abuse, they could do the same. As would other employers.
The lack of an oxford comma in the title was enabling me to hope that the article would be about tech companies' managers measuring their standard accounting in terms of a commoditised 'computer scientists' unit - like if we have 'x' number of computer scientists, we are worth 'y' much. We can credit & debit the number of 'computer scientists' in our org to account for IT buildouts, like a new LLM or ETL system. Training an LLM costs 'z' computer scientists (maybe in person-year format - i.e. 'CS-years').

Really interested in when computer scientists are loaned, what form of interest is paid out on them =)

>“I gave you everything, and you kicked me to the street.”

This is why my views changed too. I've worked so many jobs where I put in more than 8hrs/day consistently over months or years and didn't get raises (usually bc of a policy) or I didn't get some benefit because I wasn't friends with the CEO etc.

No more. If I'm not feeling up to working and it won't totally mess up my schedule, I'm calling off.

The reality is me coming in sick also costs the business. I spend 8hrs sitting at my computer running at 60% or less productivity, possibly extending it multiple days because I didn't rest vs them knowing I am sick and resting and being able to come back the next day and be back to 90-100%
Traditional accounting models are too anemic to account for most resource flows, REA is proper accounting for computer scientists:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resources%2C_Events%2C_Agents

Quote: The REA model gets rid of many accounting objects that are not necessary in the computer age. Most visible of these are debits and credits—double-entry bookkeeping disappears in an REA system. Many general ledger accounts also disappear, at least as persistent objects; e.g., accounts receivable or accounts payable. The computer can generate these accounts in real time using source document records. REA treats the accounting system as a virtual representation of the actual business. In other words, it creates computer objects that directly represent real-world-business objects. In computer science terms, REA is an ontology.

One thing I've done with habanero peppers is blend them up with some oil, and then mix a very small amount with mayo to make a spread for sandwiches.

The oils help carry the flavors and the mayo helps dull the spiciness. It's actually quite delightful and gives you a way to control how spicy you want it to be while still getting to experience the other flavors of the pepper.
I think it's pretty high actually?

If I'm a random person who just heard that Joe Biden tweeted something, I can't see that tweet by going to his Twitter page. That's a pretty goddamned terrible experience right there.

> - "This is not an Operating System." Maybe we need to rethink what an Operating System is. As long as computers were boxes under our desk, an operating system was the thing that operated these boxes. Now computers are everywhere and - when connected to each other in the cloud - form sort of higher level computers. Calling a system that operates the higher level computer an OS is legitimate in my eyes.

Or maybe find a better name since OS is already taken and defined?

Same for kernel btw.

How to Do a Competitive Analysis (Quick and Easy) in 2024
>>> Have you tried to park downtown? If you want fewer lots it's gonna need structures.

>> This is exactly what LVT is supposed to incentivize.

How? If people don't think building a parking structure is going to be more profitable than keeping a parking lot, how is raising their cost going to change their mind?

I suppose some of the lots might be sold as unprofitable which might lead to less parking and higher prices, which might lead to someone building a structure. Is that the logic? It seems pretty flimsy, but I don't otherwise see how LVT would incentivize building parking structures.
Right? It's a _job_. We are all going to die someday way earlier than we would want and we're not going to wish we had dedicated more of our lives to our jobs at that moment.

I don't agree with this generalization for good communication "In my experience more extroverted and “chaty” engineers have it better on average."

Often times we conflate loud communication with good communication. In my personal experience there are lots of verbose individuals that are poor communicators.
Most folks I work with don't take PTO for short appts like that. Usually they just put it on the calendar and communicate it to the team. Or they shift the schedule for the day to start later and work later to fit in a morning appt. That said, the dentist near me is open til 7pm so after work dentistry seems to be an option too.
A change that is capable of bringing down slack.com will probably take down status.slack.com too. Whereas slackstatus.com would (hopefully) be more isolated from such failures.

I'm a recent convert to YNAB. I tried multiple times over the years, but always gave up after only a few days.

The key for me and my wife to get it to work was getting into the groove of entering your transactions and reconciling daily. It is a bit obsessive, but we've been able to completely overhaul our finances with it.

Basically every morning I start my day by opening up YNAB and my bank, and for our personal finances, just making sure everything matches. For my business finances, I actually manually input all expenses (from receipts, invoices, etc) then once a week, I will go through and reconcile with online banking (I usually miss a transaction or two).

(Not US) A lot of it is mentalities fed to people from universities too. Back when I was still in uni we had a group project, and one person was having personal issues - didn't pry which but they couldn't attend for a few weeks due to what was officially listed as being sick. In exchange, other teammates picked up the slack in the meantime because y'know, trying to be a good human being to teammates is worth it on its own + mentioning this and still getting a good mark usually nets you bonus points for good teamwork (persist under challenge/pressure is a word that gets you basically free passing grades on feedback essays). She eventually returned and was able to compensate the missed work twice over for the time left in the project.

We did that in spite of the fact that one of the two guiding teachers more or less started haranguing us to put pressure on that teammate to "get back to the group work", with such charming questions being asked to the non-sick teammates (ie. Me and three others) as "how many sick days do you think are acceptable" and repeated anecdotes from the guiding teacher about how "he had taken exactly one sick day in five years". (He didn't mention that he'd also been working as a freelancer for five years so "a sick day" meant absolutely nothing to him).

In our case, the team as a whole decided that as long as we could get the work done, the teammates absence wasn't too big of a deal. This didn't make the guiding teacher happy to say the least, and I could totally have seen another team break under that kinda pressure/not have the spirit to stick up for their own beliefs in that thing.

We did end up passing the project because the result was more than acceptable at least, but it's something worth mentioning in terms of how early it starts.

This is actually a very interesting essay.

I always liked Die Hard way better than its sequels (Die Hard 2 is merely acceptable, and the rest are embarrassing), but I never thought about this use of space and architecture. "Military parkour", as the article calls it.

Also insightful are the comparisons between Jason Bourne and the latest Bond movies; Bond feels sterile, and I find myself in agreement that some of the reasons for this are:

> Jones writes that “there’s no travel in the new Bond”; there are simply “establishing shots of exotic destinations.” By the end of a Bond film, he adds, you simply “feel like you are in the international late-capitalist nonplace,” a geography with neither landmarks nor personal memory.

Whereas

> Why does Microsoft fail when third parties succeed? How is it you can download games from Steam with the greatest of ease whereas the Windows store is a struggle?

I'm an Xbox Pass user on PC and I didn't notice any outstanding issues trying to install games from the store, or more often from the Xbox app. My bigger issue is that consistently games from the MS store feel subjectively slower than ones from GOG for example, like longer load times. But that might be related to DRM or maybe UWP. Whenever I have a choice I'll end up playing the GOG version over the MS or any other store.

The difference in experience could be related to my individual setup or personal preference.

One other big question for me is how many tech giants want to be the market leader is so many fields. Eventually they will tip the scale into regulation that mandates such companies to be broken up. For MS the store is probably an afterthought so leading in that segment is irrelevant.
Fair. "Allocate" is the wrong word.

The extra 2 pins on NACS are the ones that carry the CCS communications protocol. (CP and PP pins)

The CCS1 has the CCS communication pins, a big DC- and DC+ pin, and also three extra pins for AC slow charging (Line 1, Neutral or Line 2, and Protective Earth/communications ground). CCS2 has the DC pins, the communication pins, AC lines 1, 2, and 3, AC neutral, and protective earth/communications ground.

NACS has DC+, DC-, CP, PP, and a ground. Instead of sticking the bulky AC->DC converter in the car, NACS vehicles stick it in the charging station. That means an AC charger can't be as simple (it needs to convert to DC) but also that the car doesn't have to carry around something it only uses while charging.
What do most jobs give for vacation time? It took me 15 years at my current job to get four weeks. Before that, two.

Assuming that two weeks a year is the norm going on other posts here, you feel it's appropriate to go say six months (evenly spacing those vacations) to work every day and the employee be at their best? What if said employee rarely gets physically ill, they should not have access to a day off here and there?
Thanks for providing your perspective! It’s incredibly frustrating to keep reading from people whose hospitals look like 5* hotels coupled with the Space Station praising a system they never used and have no idea how bad it can be.

Just because they perceive it as being free (although we are paying it through the nose in our monthly taxes) while theirs require a job and an insurance (which ours pretty much requires too).
I wonder if it may be the other way actually. Helpdesk has own knowledge, training, expectations, etc. Given enough data, AI can dispassionately adapt to common user misconceptions, unofficial names, ignore terrible grammar, etc.
And if you never take sick leave, like I did during my almost 30 year career, the toll it takes on your health is tremendous. My employers have never cared about my high blood pressure or that I'm pre-diabetic.
She talks about expecting AirBnB to cover her mortgage payment in one of the tweets, so there probably is a mortgage.

It's less clear that this is legally a multi-unit building (as opposed to multiple single-units). If I own half a duplex, a third of a triplex, or a townhouse, I can insure the unit I live in on a residential policy. Surely the owner of a townhouse/rowhouse doesn't need to carry insurance on their neighboring unit.
I think taking sick days for mental health is exactly what it's for.

And within some reasonable amount, it's not unreasonable to take it after a really awful night of sleep or crazy 18 hour shift the day before, etc.

With white collar office work we can do remotely, we've all been lulled into taking essentially 0 sick days truly off. I've probably taken an average of 0-1 per year in my career. Most of the time any of us are sick we, at most, offer that we'll be offline a couple hours and login for the rest of the day.

Our parents generation had jobs where they accrued 5-7 days/year of sick day, and actually rolled it over like vacation days.. sometimes with no limits, allowing them to retire a year early paid, etc.

We've let this all get chipped away to the point that many of us don't even have vacation days that rollover, or if they do, must be used within Q1 and then get zeroed out on March 31st.

Never mind a fixed allotment of sick days we can feel comfortable using without suspicion.

How precisely? The taxes on profits from oil & gas related businesses are complex, but I honestly (as a computer scientist unrelated to oil & gas businesses) don't understand the claims that we subsidize oil & gas production. I know that the oil & gas industry is heavily taxed and there are numerous exemptions and complications to the tax regulations for that industry just as there are for other industries, but on balance it appears that oil & gas production pays billions to the US and state governments. See [1], for example.

“ Now computers are everywhere and - when connected to each other in the cloud - form sort of higher level computers. Calling a system that operates the higher level computer an OS is legitimate in my eyes.”

If that is the case then why is a new device (and hardware) justified?
No doubt. But same could be said of, say, automobiles, or microchips, and many other things. Even larger objects like power plant turbines seem relatively frequently manufactured. Large transformers on the other hand appear to be closer to nuclear power plants in rarity/difficulty of replacement, and as a result for me they have a very high difficulty-of-replacement-to-perceived-complexity ratio.

What I think more people should appreciate is that in any business process, computer or otherwise, there's a speed/generality/correctness/accountability tradeoff.

AI sits at the "speed" corner. Excel, a fully dynamic interactive programming language with one type "cell", gives slightly better correctness and accountability. Coalescing process into program continues to move you to the other end. Once you start employing typechecking and later formal verification, you get more correctness and accountability - BUT at a cost of development time, AND generality. The correctness is achieved precisely by being tailored to the specifics and rejecting the general.

This can apply to entirely physical processes. Some "aerospace" grade parts are very similar to normal parts .. but with a huge overhead of accountability. Because getting the right outcome matters.
Microsoft CEO Nadella's compensation drops to $48M
Society at large is doing this to themselves. Let me explain:

It’s currently popular to post about mental health issues on social media, like TikTok and Instagram. People dramatize their issues for views and likes and attention. So, you have a lot of people “self-diagnosing” mental health issues that aren’t actually clinical disorders.

This leads to people not perceiving mental health as a serious issue. Instead, people are abusing the “mental health” status to get what they want: leniency, time off, an easier workload, what have you.

This distracts from people who actually have clinically-diagnosed mental health issues. It weakens their arguments when an actually diagnosed person needs assistance, like a day off.

So the immediate fix for this is to have a physicians note or similar for every mental health day that you need. The hope is that doctors (an impartial third party authority) would sufficiently diagnose someone’s mental health. They can separate between the actually afflicted and the “I just want an excuse / easy life” crowd.

Although if you chat with MD’s about this topic, diagnosing mental health is hard so that isn’t a silver bullet either.

The other thing that society can do: stop romanticizing mental health. Stop posting about it on social media for likes and attention. Get validation and attention from some other aspect of your life, like playing an instrument or doing something well.
