An interesting thing to consider, is that face masks act as humidifiers for nasal passages.

When I first started doing cardio, my nose would dry out (mouth breathing should be avoided) to the point of being painful so I’d put on an N95 mask to retain humidity. Was a great help, though I no longer need it though.

I use an evaporative wick humidifier in my room (a Vornado Evap40). And it’s made a big quality of life improvement as well. Keeps me from waking up at night with painfully dry nasal passages.

Some tips:

* Never use ultrasonic humidifiers, those aerosolize the bacteria that inevitably grows in water, along with the minerals which can coat surfaces.

* I also recommend getting the largest capacity tanks you can find for less refilling, and looking for a fan that’s large and quiet.

* Keep humidity below 60%. (I set my cutoff to about 57%). Above this things start to feel damp, and mold growth start to become possible, especially in localized areas.

* The wick type humidifiers do have wicks as a maintenance item, I generally replace the every 1.5-2 months about, sanitizing the whole unit at the same time. Curiously, if you let them dry out, even if still pretty new, they’ll smell bad.

* The glug sounds from the water releasing from the tanks can be disturbing for a bit if you are sensitive to sounds. You do get used to it eventually. I also have a big air filter always running that provides nice white noise that that helps buffer the sudden glug noise. The only alternative really is to rig a waterline and something that can meter water into the humidifier basin without risk of failing to stop and flooding your room.
Possible, but sometimes vendor code isn't acceptable for upstream, even when public. Some vendors ship binaries with EULA restrictions to customers, who choose not to exercise their GPL rights.

A modern approach to working around the GPL is to move functions from open drivers to closed firmware.
Agreed. How many any automobiles older than that are not already in need of new hoses and gaskets?
Your idea of effort, being someone who has worked as a cook and as a ready to eat meal food prepper, may have you be mistaken as to the ease relative to some populations cooking ability. Most people I know never get past sheet pan roasting and rarely do much more, and many others do not cook outside convenience food at all.

I cook 2-3 meals a day. I incorporate a lot of veggies. Days that I eat meat are easier if I want a decently balanced meal. I’ve eaten vegetarian for half a year. I’ve eaten vegan for a month, done a few whole 30s. I’m no slouch in the kitchen, but I also have to cook for people with autism and a lot of texture icks. I’ve taken cooking courses in Thailand. For me, veggie based meals that are healthy and have enough protein are often more effort and time than a plate of chicken nuggets and roasted veggies and similar ilk.
Lines of code is a poor metric, because languages use lines differently.

A much better measure would be the number of nodes in a parse tree, of semantically meaningful non-terminals like "a constant" or "a function call".

An even better measure would also involve the depth and the branching factor of that tree.

All games are artificial problems, so your question actually is, what motivates people to engage in pastimes?

Sudoku, crosswords, Simon Tatham's puzzles etc. are an excellent way to pass the time while keep training the mind. Sports are their equivalent for the body.

Finally, writing solvers for a problem, be it real or artificial, for many is just another variety of puzzle to engage in.

This is GPL code so decompiling isn't necessary or the problem.

Accepting over the wall low quality code and having a submitter for it who may know nothing about it makes it difficult to work any of this low quality code into the mainline kernel via its resource starved processes.
> Jassy also introduced a "bureaucracy tipline" that allows employees to report unnecessary procedures that hinder their work, according to the report.

Would anyone actually use that? For example if you were complaining about the bureaucracy of dealing with your manager's process, you might face retaliation. Or worse, a lot of the bureaucracy may actually be due to the edicts of higher up executives.

Or is this just a stunt to virtue signal efficiency?

Multiple imputation simply means you impute multiple times and run the analysis on each complete (imputed) dataset so you can incorporate the uncertainty that comes from guessing at missing values into your final confidence intervals and such. How you actually do the imputation will depend on the type of variable, the amount of missingness etc. A draw from the predictive distribution of a linear model of other variables without missing data is definitely a common method, but in a state-of-the-art multiple imputation package like mi in R you can choose from dozens.

Ethanol breaks down or degrades certain polymers (formerly) used in fuel systems. But in the actual engine, it's fine: it has lower energy content but a very high octane rating compared to other constituents of gasoline.
It’s a reasonable challenge to determinism, but quantum decoherence seems to make that opening smaller, no? It seems you can explain much of reality using determinism, especially the portion humans operate in.

Also, in case it’s not clear: I am not assuming determinism or claiming that free will is an illusion, just explaining the challenge if one does assume determinism, which many do.
Out of curiosity, what specifically does VMware Workstation enable you to do, that Virtualbox doesn't?
Edit: perhaps I got this wrong. Maybe they meant staff engineer as in very senior IC who does not manage? If this is the case your role is to be strategic. You might write production code, you might design architecture. Whatever your current project(s) they will have wide reaching business impact. Asking difficult questions that may make people uncomfortable is very much part of this role. Yes these roles are seldom hired in to by first timers. But once you've be in one before, being hired externally is possible. I have a hard time believing that this person could do this type role at this point in their career (yes it was 2020 so adjust accordingly).

I'll leave the below since it might be useful for someone seeking a mid-level career.

--

I think they are equating a staff engineer with a mid-level engineer. They say that companies don't hire for this role but in my 26 years of working this has not been my experience. Granted, I focused on < 1000 employee companies because I liked the transparency, mobility, and influence I had there.

I don't know what kind of role they were looking for, but not wanting to write production code in a software company usually means you are going to be in a support role. These are often not traditional software engineering roles. You don't have to have a college degree, but you need to know the material. Programming is a skill just like anything. You have to practice.

Interviewing is an inexact, unfair process. Keep trying, doing as many as your sensitivity to rejection allows.

The thing that many applicants don't know is that many parts of a positions requirements that seem fixed are actually flexible.

Focus on good communication skills, listen well, and demonstrate concretely how you exemplify the skills they're looking for. Often the how and the why matter more then the what.

Recruiters usually know very little about what they're searching for. Yet they are the first line filter. Say what ever you need to say to move past them. But be mindful that they will often report what you say to the interview panel or hiring manager. Telling them an outright lie can be a bad idea.

Leetcode exercises aren't fun and they're a time sink. You can and should practice for them. In many cases they are a first line screen to filter out the noncoders. If you're considering searching for a solution and cutting and pasting it as your answer, know that leetcode has basic tools to detect this. They track your time and keystrokes.

Most teams have a balance of dead weight, followers, doers, and leaders. There are usually more of the former than the later. This plays in your favor if looking for a mid-level role.

Good luck out there.
I don’t care much for sudoku but I do enjoy crosswords quite a lot, which feels like a somewhat arbitrary exercise. I enjoy the fact that I know a lot of words and it makes me feel clever. There’s probably something to that with most puzzle type challenges.

Agreed, but would add that deciding not to do something is an underappreciated action of doing. If the thinking process results in deciding your deployable resources can be better used, how would that not also be "doing". The act of relentless material production seems so wasteful tasteless.

I know. This is the real reason, not the purported "security issues". Apple just wants to sell their hugely expensive cake and eat it. The only reason that macOS is not locked down is historical. Because it's always been open and people would be screaming if they took it away.

It's a shame as a user. I paid for the device, I should decide what happens on it. Apple doesn't have an innate right to store revenue.

They’re not though because they are totally out of context, there are no real stakes and ultimately you aren’t building anything.

If you like solving puzzles then LC is your jam.

Puzzles aren’t the same as Problems. The point of a puzzle is to solve the puzzle, in which case my brain just simply isn’t interested. The is no wider end goal.

The point of a problem is to solve an issue for a wider context and, untimely improve a system/process/organisation in some way. In which case I’m all in and my brain starts firing on all cylinders.

The are no puzzles in work, everything is a problem. LC is nothing but puzzles.

Im pretty fervently anti-Georgist, so it is hard for me to relate.

In my moral-political framework use taxes are superior to income taxes which are superior to wealth taxes. In my mind, any just theory taxation is based payment to the state for state services provided.

Use taxes are best because there is a clear quid pro quo, it enables consent (via using the service or not), and can be leveed reasonably proportional to use costs.

Income taxes are next, because they can be framed as a use of the public market space and institutions. Again, there there is a clear quid pro quo, and people can choose to work more or less, and pay more or less taxes.

Wealth taxes are worst because there is no quid pro quo or consent. The taxed gets no new exchange for the payment.

I think solar tax is even worse than this, because there is no underlying profit or wealth. Im not making money with solar, just losing money more slowly.

I think this is equivalent to sending a collector through the serfs to collect taxes for breathing the kings air. The kind didnt make the air any more than the state made the sun.

With respect to Georgism, I think it was amoral to begin with, and economically outdated today. Simply put, a significant portion of value today does not arise from the land. The material inputs for some code are trivial, but that code created may be worth more than a thousand acres of farmland. The material inputs to make a billion dollar stock trade are a few watts to send electrons down a wire.
vSphere is, by far, the most mature enterprise datacenter virtualization platform which is why this is so challenging. Orgs are going to have to make do with openShift or Hyper-V etc and a lot of functionality will be lost along the way.

Besides all the "hacker games" I would play in obscure parts of the web, leisure suit Larry is one of those games I stumbled upon as a youth looking for anything that went against the grain. I was a kid that thought nudity was amazing. Still, the mechanics built into searching for clues in an environment that attempted "open world" concepts honestly consumed more time then the rewards earned.

Also Sony launched Matrix MMO that died out but I loved how they at least tried to continue character stories that added depth.
Is there some sort of explanation of what DMNO is?
You can use the downstream kernel directly via Droidian (a Mobian-derived GSI image). But otherwise the downstream kernels and device trees tend to be useless from an upstream development perspective - too hacked together and not maintainable in practice. Your proposed approach can be used however to extract existing firmware blobs (that will run unchanged no matter what the booting OS), and Mobian is pursuing that approach.
I dont know what part of this is confusing you.

There is no comparison. there is a reference. A reference is not a comparison.

You also didnt answer my question. You are claiming there is an inferred comparison. If so, please explain what two things are being compared, and in what way.
>Interviewing is an inexact, unfair process. Keep trying, doing as many as your sensitivity to rejection allows.

I have a pretty high tolerance, but this year just plain sucks, full of gaslighting about roles that dont exist and disrespect from recruiter gatekeepers.

>Leetcode exercises aren't fun and they're a time sink. You can and should practice for them.

I'm nowhere near you, but I think it's absurd that someone with 26 years would still need to pass some graph traversal trivia instead of anything actually relevant to their experience. Especially a staff/principal level that is probably super specialzied in a specific few topics.

I know they are too lazy to do proper domain questions, but you can do coding exercise without pretedning that Big O notation and solving some random "twists" in real time. If you have 20 years and can casually code up some for loops and branches in your given language, you probably prove your coding as much as some leetcode hard question. At most else, you may want to test pointers and memory management in as well, but "coding" 99% of the time is those above 3.

I've been messing with Uiua (https://www.uiua.org/) a good amount recently, and find its sort of dance between having a stack and being an array language somehow gets you to a nice level of legibility despite being a combo of two styles that tend to generate line noise.
This should definitely be updated with a year (2020). This time period was peak "corporate engineering" culture imho. During this period I felt like a stranger in my own field.

In my entire career I had never cared about "leveling" and suddenly I found a world of people obsessed with it. Engineers were being hired en masse so your actual skills mattered little (you were going to be solving real problems, you were there to boost your managers head count), but your ability to "play the game" was everything. I figured out the rules, and had my bit of success but working in tech sucked in this time period (aside from comp). The worst part was that this infected companies of all sizes.

While you can still play the FAANG-game today if you want, it's increasingly become not required and I'm seeing more and more teams hiring people based on technical skills and the ability to solve real and actual problems. Weird smart people are starting to be in demand again (rather than pariah's because they couldn't perform the shibboleths required to fit-in). My last two companies had no "leveling" and were much better for it.

Hopefully we'll return to a time when people are exited for a role because it offers interesting problems to solve rather than chasing some meaningless career ladder.
well she's certainly right about one thing:

>Everybody defines Staff differently

I've heard a few roles define staff as mid level, and others define it as basically a founder/fellow level role. At that point it's probably better to read the job description first instead of assume what experience they require.
Yes you can run a GSI (and project Droidian does that) but then you're dependent on a downstream kernel and Android-ish early boot environment, that will likely lead to pointless incompatibilities compared to a fully-upstreamed approach.
It must be a remarkable boon to their economy, with a captive audience streaming through in high volume and probably willing to drop a few denarii on food and accommodations. Almost preferable to actual tourism.

An introduced species, alien species, exotic species, adventive species, immigrant species, foreign species, non-indigenous species, or non-native species is a species living outside its native distributional range, but which has arrived there by human activity, directly or indirectly, and either deliberately or accidentally.

Working with all major systems I have to say I don't have the feeling that the commercial OS is getting any better. If anything they are getting worse.

What is getting better are the likes of KDE. Where a good decade ago running Linux still was a pain where it didn't work, nowadays it mostly just works, the System UIs are more usable, more customizable and in many cases better than any of the commercial OS for a while now (and yes, that includes MacOS).

Android is a pain in the rear, IOS similarily so.
