The background here is that CS2 has been reamed in reviews for terrible performance where it can't even sustain 30fps in many cases, even on high end machines. It appears Colossal Order has somehow not had regression testing or performance targets whilst developing the game and then got backed into a corner where they had to release anyway, resulting in a detailed sim that is too inefficient to be fully enjoyable.
> I support mandating driverless cars for all people with DUIs (at any phase in life), the elderly and those who have been in serious at-fault-accidents.

I think this is really jumping the gun given how limited current self driving tech is. The amount of people who do 100% of their driving in the few cities where Waymo operates is a tiny part of the population. Until commercial self driving cars can function in the remaining 99% of the country this is a non-starter. Maybe in 10 years this will be possible, although there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical.
Web components might be better for writing isolated and reusable components, but for gluing stuff together to make your application work, the DOM API is just garbage. It was made to edit XML documents and it shows.

Also, one reason I don't make web components even for isolated, reusable components: No editor properly picks them up for things like autocompletion of attributes and event names or checks for typos.
Never. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Accept a counter. Never. Why?

If they didn't recognize your value before and they only recognize it when you threaten to depart, they aren't respecting you any more w/the counter; they're just using that to stave off the impending issues that arise and will likely take any future opportunity to recoup that 'loss'.

I actively advocate, in advance, for my team. They have clear expectations on what the next step in their career w/us is and have a general idea of what to expect salary wise when they reach it. If they're looking, it means that I have failed them in my #1 core competency and priority as a leader to ensure they are getting what they need out of their day to day and I would prefer they openly communicate with me in advance of their feeling a need to look.

If you are not getting this out of your current leadership, find a new job where your leader will be someone will be that advocate for you. Very often, people are a company's most valuable asset and they should work hard to retain that asset without rigamarole.
Earth's Latest 'Vital Signs' Show the Planet Is in Crisis
It's difficult to make ranging generalizations about academia for the same reason it's difficult to make them about society at-large: massive variation of experience. Still, we can try.

A HN commenter once wisely stated: "Building things [in academia] is fine, but of course it's not academic research - which is defined by the creation of game-changing concepts and philosophical structures, some of which happen to be mathematical."

I agree. Academic research is not expensive. Today, most research performed in academic environments is about building things. Why? Federal grants (NSF, NIH, DoD, etc.) drive the vast majority of academic research efforts these days. The department with the most federal grant dollars pay their students the best, so you can easily have a history doctoral student getting a $20k/year stipend while a biomedical engineering doctoral student getting a $39k/year stipend. Most (not all) university research being performed today should be performed in structured, professional research institutions, not in academic research labs led by a professor.

A good deal of faculty dislike working on federal grants, but financial pressures from the university demand their participation in the system. This situation creates a feedback loop of frustration, narcissism, and negativity. Perhaps the federal government is exploiting the academic environment by using it as a source of cheap labor. Problem is, the output is often shoddy and takes way longer than it should. Similar to the hospital systems, there's little incentive to fix it from the inside because many people financially benefit from the broken paradigm.

If you're unfamiliar with the Dark Triad [1], it's a psychological theory of personality included three traits: Machiavellianism, sub-clinical narcissism, and sub-clinical psychopathy. I've been left with the impression that the modern academic environment naturally selects for Dark Triad personality traits.

A solution which should help fix the culture is: (1) universities significantly reduce their total number of incoming doctoral students for the next twenty years, and (2) universities immediately pay the existing doctoral students better. Of course, this approach has financial risk for the university, so the political cost of implementation may be too steep for some.

That’s not how these kinds of trials work. The 13% figure comes from comparing the control and intervention groups, which were observed over the same period of time. The change in baseline mortality over time of the entire population isn’t relevant.

> The current financing landscape offers limited options for those aiming to establish lifestyle businesses in unpredictable markets.

Which isn't due to anyone's prejudice or greed, it's just math.

If a bank or fund is going to invest in something with merely lifestyle returns, it has to be extremely low-risk, like a corner pizza shop in a neighborhood without a pizza shop. High-risk and low returns is not something any sane outsider would ever invest in.

If something is high risk, it had better have a potentially high return to compensate.
No, I'm talking about the still unreleased live-action remake and what their lead actress has said about the movie.
When Calvin was thirty years old, he left his home and the lake of his home and went into the mountains. There he enjoyed his spirit and his solitude, and for ten years did not weary of it. Until one day, rising with the rosy dawn, he turned to his stuffed animal and spoke to it thus:

"Oh, thou great tiger! What would thy happiness be, had thee not those for whom though roars!"

-- Thus Spake Calvin
There is no "htmx app". You'd search for how to include auth0 in, say, a django app.
The article does seem to be punching a straw man though. A 60/40 portfolio is basically only recommended for those approaching retirement who cannot stomach high volatility.

The accountability comes from the people under him leaving/actual poor results, or doing poor work because of burnout, resulting in poor results.

If it works well enough though, he’s fine.

A lot of folks don’t realize their value when they’re burning themselves out making your case look good, which enables it, and not even getting paid for the effort.

Those people often rant the exact same way you are, while not changing their behavior.

They also tend to be the most angry when their part is make clear though. So I guess it’s a good thing it’s at least semi anonymous here?
Acrobat reader does not let you edit PDFs. And trusting 3rd party programs on Windows is not something I would advise for non tech savvy people.

My point is Windows has a known malware problem, editing PDFs is a common need these days, and Microsoft has the resources to provide a built in non malware PDF editor.

Yet they do not bother to fulfill a simple need for their customers.
I’ll be the counterpoint and say that all the shit jobs I did were way easier than any tech jobs I’ve had.

Working retail was boring but it was a joke in terms of stress or care. Working doing help desk IT work was similar. Same for other odd jobs I picked up.

Then I joined startups, big tech, etc. all in SV and the stress is insanely high compared to anything else. The hours suck even when you’re an aggressive guy like I am about WLB - because I still have to spend hundreds of hours preparing for interviews every year. It’s mandatory to keep your compensation high and to avoid the new toxic boss you just got.

I left a $1m+/yr job because the stress was too much. Experiences with tech is a wide gamut but my experience is one of it being a shit show. I have friends who get paid well and have good hours and a great work environment but I’ve never been in that side of being happy at my jobs. I keep joining shitty employers/teams - somewhat out of bad luck tbh.
I never implied that transactions are one-sided. Accepting employment is beneficial to the employee, in our current economy. If you attempt to start your own business without sufficient capital (in the form of savings, outside investment or loans), you will go bankrupt before you can turn a profit because it costs money to live and because there are startup costs for a new business that must be paid before you turn a profit. But if you accept employment at the market rate (which is always less than the amount of wealth your labor creates or you probably won't be able to find an employer), you are typically paid within a few weeks with few or no upfront costs which matters if you aren't already financially independent.
Agree, but over the years - and being in the meetings salary raises are discussed/approved/rejected - I see this pattern that companies only act if they perceive urgency.

The quiet person doing an absolutely amazing job is never seen as an urgent case. It is sad and I don't agree with this view at all, but my opinion is not enough to change the system, so I need to live with it.
Sorry ak217. :(

It's $15 per month so $180 allocated overall. Would it be more worth it for you if it were paid out in one lump sum for the year vs. doled out monthly?
I wrote my own CZ-101-like synth (it's not an emulation, more like "based on", as it has some unique features), I've tried various CZ-like VSTs but nothing beats the original. So I'm really interested what MAME has to offer.
Even if the synth is digital, its waveforms do not look like anything you would expect from some simple digital emulation, so emulating CZ properly isn't that easy as it would sound.
Thanks for the links, I'm definitely going to check your DX9 emulation. As a proud owner of FB-01 I really dig that 4-op sound.

I’ve seen a couple of these now. Looks like a lot of them take the “we will take your code and compile it”-approach.

That’s not a problem per se but it does affect the ability to debug and see relevant stack traces. Its like how sometimes you see transpiled JS when what you really want is the typescript using source maps.

It is compared to non-vaccinated regions, if you had bothered to read the article.

> To calculate mortality in the three countries, where death registry statistics are unreliable, the researchers employed tens of thousands of community reporters—more than 14,000 of them in Kenya alone—to conduct household surveys of childhood deaths in 79 areas where the RTS,S vaccine was administered and 79 comparator areas where it was not available.
This isn't the first such poisoning method published is that they are announced, and then quickly its shown that (1) they aren’t really visually acceptable for most real art when you look at images at a bigger size than what is included in the announcement paper, resulting in noticeable quality degradation and/or (2) they can be easily countered, usually, IIRC, both.

I think it seems very likely that that this will always be the case: if it is visually neutral enough to be acceptable for use, there will be a way to train systems to generate art that visually resembles the original based on the output.
Maybe that's the point.
Nothing fancy, or special, but I use them so that I don’t have go to a site first and then search.

Over the years I’ve built one up that recognizes various record ID formats or other record numbers and automatically takes you to that record or forwards you to the site if you paste the entire url.

It has a few other keyword shortcuts to save on monotonous clicks.

Nowadays with slack and people being a bit web savvier in general it’s not as useful as it once was, but you’d be surprised how annoying it is to enter jira ticket ids over and over.
Launching westward - on the Earth, from a non-polar site, to non-polar orbits - carries a large delta-v penalty, which translates into a huge payload penalty.
My family owns some land in south Texas and my subjective sense from dealing with that reality and talking to people in the area is that you can’t throw a rock without hitting a protected wetland. In practice, the ubiquity of environmentally delicate tracts of land seems to be used by the state to restrict or permit industrial activities arbitrarily, likely based on political favoritism. If you think this is hyperbole, I suggest you look into the details of the various solar power projects in Texas.
That's not what it's about. You're only talking about why the median goes down if you bet 100%.

This explains why the median (and mode) goes up if you bet 37.5% instead of 100% each time.

I see you haven't interacted with companies in the US much. I write my name on an online form, a minimum-wage employee reads my name from a screen and types it into another application, and gets it wrong. Now the online account and the actual billing have my name spelled differently.

Well yes, I'm uninformed about some topics, I used that word specifically to try not to insult the intelligence of someone who simply isn't well versed in the specific topic at hand.

Bingo.

It's a mix of exposure therapy and CBT. I understand that people are concerned over the simplified approach. But like most things (therapy included), if it's not simple enough to understand, it doesn't get used.

Many Social Anxiety therapists first go will be exposure therapy -- gradually exposing their clients to fears until they don't feel it as much. We employ a version of this in Roadmap. The levels start out small and then gradually introduce larger steps at the player's pace.

CBT - This practice comes in two parts: identifying the underlying thoughts / beliefs of the anxiety. And then forming skills / behaviors to tackle that.

Social Anxiety is focused on our future failures in front of people. In Roadmap, that central belief is uprooted when we capture your wins and replay them to you over and over.

Instead of focusing on future failures & being discouraged, we rewire the mind to appreciate past wins & build confidence.
From your comment history, when you comment on anything technical, you seem to be downvoted and not really know what you're talking about.

We're in a funny state because calling oneself 'rich' or 'upper class' sounds like bragging even if it is more accurate. If some 6-figure-earner went around calling themselves 'rich' most people would roll their eyes. 'Upper-class' is not much better because 'class' is still a loaded term. Does 'upper-class' mean 'has more money' or 'knows what fork to use'

So everyone uses 'middle class' unless they own a jet or an island. It's the safe choice.

To quote an artist that I know, "artists already steal. They're the masters at it."

Stealing inspiration and style is how artists learn. It just takes time. They're angry that the time investment is going to zero. And also that their examples are what are being used, despite the fact that other human artists are doing that already.

I agree. But then what is the difference between religion and an axiom? Both are beliefs. Are you saying there is no difference? Maybe technically there is no difference. But clearly from the practical perspective there's a huge mutually exclusive difference.

We should not merge GOF design patterns and SOLID or any other made up "software religion" with a formal theory.

That's what I mean by "belief"

I understand that there will be a performance penalty at higher latitudes, however that really shouldn’t matter to what bocca chica is used for by spaceX

- FAA would never give licenses 100s of launches from Texas ever, volume is always planned from be Florida , just for experimental flights the penalty shouldn’t be a factor,

- given the order of magnitude change in payload capacity with Starship and reusability the performance factor shouldn’t really be critical even for production ?

The current , past and inevitable future delays at Bocca Chica is costing spaceX a lot , they are cash flow positive and far ahead of competition so they can afford it, but this is certainly does not look like the most optimal plan .
