There is no reliable evidence that drinking some protein shakes can cause kidney damage. You would have to get over 4 grams of protein per kg of body weight per day to even start risking some damage, and even serious weightlifters usually aren't consuming that much.

Is there really any solid research determining the "best" algorithm, or even ranking them? As best I can tell, any process to repeat wrong answers more often and the correct answers less often, and does so with some amount of increasing time delta, will work. But I have yet to see any proof that one algorithm is better than another.
Big name US company (now defunct) made an offer to recent college grads on campus.

When challenged by engineering management HR gave a hike of Rs 100/- a year.

About $3 at that time.

How to Evaluate RAG Apps
I’d like to be able to have custom functions that use cells as parameters.

It’s often difficult to understand the state of a cell (what is it’s formatting and other rules)

It’s difficult to reason about what the underlying value of a cell is and it’s representation (e.g, 12-nov-22 == 12/11/2022) and what will happen when you change the value type of a cell

At least for excel, scrolling doesn’t follow curser. Cells are deselected when focus leaves a window.

It’s not like any of these are going to revolutionize the spreadsheet.

I think old versions of access had a front-end builder. Now MS have power apps, but it’s not very nice and the backend data store is also not great.

Surprised that HR had enough pull to go over the head of the hiring manager. There’s got to be more to this story.

If I was the hiring manager, I would tell HR to pound sand.
I took the counter offer and stayed for (so far) 3 more years. To be fair, the problem was less the money and more the nature of the work, but even that was adjusted to be more accommodating.
Search for & take tours of community maker-spaces in your city. You’ll find people (often SWE) who switched over to 3D printing, metal working, robotics, wood working & more. They have classes, so you can get certified to use the tools - and you’ll just learn by hanging out, meeting fellow makers & checking out their projects. Best of luck on the journey - it’s a ton of fun.

Bluesky launching RSS feeds is a direct result of Bluesky not being a distributed protocol. Yes, I know, it's aiming to be federated. But there are fundamental issues with the protocol they decided to go with that is keeping them from creating a social network that actually has self-authenticating posts.

And all of this starts with their DIDs being a substring of the hash of your first post? It just doesn't make sense. In these kinds of systems you hash the data and sign the hash, then you can send a message that can be authenticated anywhere.

And thus, RSS is one answer I guess.

No one ever asked for an RSS feed of a Scuttlebot log back before that network was scuttled. Why? because you could authenticate the sender and the posts on your own computer.

Does this mean that it would have been better to base hello-rust-sdl2-wasm on wasm32-unknown-unknown target (assuming this is possible)?

EDIT: trying to answer this myself got me down this rathole:

I did find older alternative solutions that uses wasm32-unknown-emscripten, like https://github.com/tanis2000/rust-sdl2-wasm but it's not obvious to me that this is a better solution.

The USA, like all of us, lives in an industrial world and have maintained their supremacy in that world by being the pre-eminent industrial military power.

Let me rephrase that. A toaster is functionally simple, but designing, engineering, manufacturing, and creating a business selling toasters is not.

Oh my god, yes. I will buy a dishwasher if the controls are just a plain old ladder-logic PLC or something equivalently hackable.

All I want is to tweak a few programs according to my relative cost of water vs energy, my personal value of time, my typical dish dirtiness, etc. The built-in programs make all the wrong assumptions.

There's no reason I should need to contact a server in Virginia, much less China, to do that.

Also, to OP's point, a narrow-slot toaster. I don't eat bagels or texas toast, I don't need wide-slots that waste energy and take longer. I just want a plain old single-function narrow slot toaster, which is apparently even more rare than the mythical single-roll of toilet paper. I would _happily_ pay 5x for one made in the USA.

My main issue is usually that it’s so hard to tell if something is cheap but costs a lot, or if it costs a lot because it’s not cheap. Probably also partially because of price anchoring, where products seem expensive, because many very cheap ones cost even less.

Sorry, there is nothing in Marx's writting that says that working conditions cannot improve. I recall that in one of Das Capital's chapter in the first volume he tried several models of how capitalism could evolve. One of them expected that workers could get better wages... just so that they could consume more goods produced, but never owning the means of production or controlling the society and the power.
If you already use homebrew, that works too:

You won't see that happen because AMD have no interest in targeting phones. Why bother? Margins are thin, one of x86's biggest advantages is binary backwards compatibility but that's mostly meaningless on Android, there's additional IP and regulatory pain points like integration of cellular modems.

Intel tried and ran into most of those same problems. Their Atom-based SoCs were pretty competitive with ARM chips of the day, it was the reliance on an external modem, friction with x86 on Android and a brutally competitive landscape that resulted in their failure.

Regardless of architectural advantages from one vendor or another, the point remains that the arguable preeminent expert in CPU architecture believes that ISA makes little difference and given their employment history it's hard to make the argument of bias.

Finally, if it was actually written by a human, way to stem future job prospects. Calling a prior company out by name and making the two salaries easy to figure out ($40k more == 40% more == $100k for the author and $140k for the coworker) are not bright moves for a burgeoning writer.

There's just less money available for startups and all companies are rightsizing which means there are fewer open positions. You'll need to be more strategic in your job search. You'll need to ask colleagues and friends for leads. You'll also have to pick companies you want to work for and investigate what positions they have open and tailor your resume accordingly. Networking is the best way to get a job now. Throwing your resume out there and hoping someone will call will no longer work.

You'll have to adjust to the current situation. There will be another growth cycle but it will be a few years from now. It doesn't look like we are heading toward a recession but investors and companies are being careful. I suspect it will take 3 plus years to thaw but hiring is unlikely to ever be as loose as it has been in the last decade. A period when companies were throwing perks left and right just to attract workers.

Thanks Xiaojun for FSRS, I've talked multiple times with him about FSRS and Anki.
In traditional spaced repetition systems like Anki+FSRS, learners often review knowledge always in the same context, which can lead to an understanding of knowledge as isolated units rather than part of a larger network. For example, learning words isolated does not fully prepare learners to use the language in real-life situations, where context, collocation, and usage play a significant role.
Instead of isolated repetition, a better way to learn languages is to expose learners to words in different contexts and combinations, helping them to understand how words naturally form in chunks and sentences. This varied exposure can help learners build a deep network of neural connections, enhancing their ability to understand, recall, and use language effectively.
So for learning languages, instead of Anki cards, we're building something that shows real-life short videos where each of our videos is a mini scenario, showcasing language use in real-life situations. This means students aren't just memorizing words, but seeing how they're used in natural contexts, complete with visual cues and body language. This approach allows students to understand the practical application of words and phrases, making the learning process more engaging and effective. Since the main reason that students fail to learn foreign languages is they don't keep on studying.
Another thing that Anki lacks is, real-life scenario-based quizzes instead of "do I recall this?", students need to apply what they've learned in a fun, low-pressure environment.

So, SRS algo is just part of the solution, and definitely not a silver bullet. There are a lot of things about memory, such as how emotions affect encoding - you don't need SRS to remember your first kiss or graduation day. People learn their mother tongue to fluency w/o using any kind of SRS, while most people fail to learn a foreign language to fluency even if they use SRS.

In most companies, said hiring manager would be the one pounding sand.

HR works for the company (aka the owners/senior execs), not a random line manager.

If they like what the line manager is doing, then that’s cool.

If they don’t, unless execs or ownership cares, they’ll happily set said line manager on fire for their amusement just as easily as a random employee.

And since line managers need HR’s co-operation to hire/fire in most places, they’ve got to manage that relationship very carefully or be really screwed.

Theoretically, it should be possible to create images from a static video feed that have higher resolution than the video.

It very much isn't because they sell premium quality products. They sell luxury products. Luxury branding has very little to do with product quality or performance. Also, the US doesn't have a competitive advantage in manufacturing home appliances. They actually have a competitive disadvantage, as the most capable manufacturing capacity for these products doesn't exist in the US anymore.
It would be very difficult to make it 100% US made. At best it would be assembled in the US of global parts. Things like the cable, heating elements, plugs, etc. may all be non starters to source here.
