> I think you might be confusing "productive" with "smart" or "easy to work with".

Working in teams for most of my career, and especially when I make or lose money depending on how the team performs, I am not confusing them.

At work, I am not really interested in how smart they are or how easy to work with they are, or how nice a person they are. At work I'm interested in results. I've had workers come to me and complain about "Bob" who has annoying habits and an abrasive personality. I defend the ones that produce results.

Outside of work, I value smart people who are good friends. I've had several friends who were laid off for poor performance, yet we continued as friends.

(Being somewhat on the spectrum myself, I recognize that in others and give them a lot of slack.)

> you might be underestimating how oblivious some (most?) people are of those things.

The oblivious ones were the ones who got laid off. They honestly believed they were god's gift to the company. Frankly, it was tragic. The ones I kept in contact with would ruefully admit to me years later that the company was right in laying them off.

Yea it is dependent on your company.

When I think of highly functioning staff engineers Im thinking of people like Jeff Dean and Mitchell Hashimoto. Similarly at companies I have been at, even the highest level principal super staff++ engineers still code. They do the high level strategy and design, but they are still writing PRs at least every week or two.
If you are spending 100% of your time on politics and architecture as a staff eng I think that shows a somewhat dysfunctional organization.
While I wish you well, I guess my only question is what you complain about are cultural issues with linkedin which I don't think wouldn't happen on any other platform too. Is it because it is "curated?" Couldn't anyone game that kind of curation too and then eventually the site would devolve into the same fakeness that plagues linkedin?

It integrates naturally into my desktop environment.

I drop a .container file into ~/.config/containers/systemd/ and the rest is taken care of. I use yadm to manage my dot files and that way it ends up on all the systems I want it.

Never tried podlet, though. I just write the container file directly.
This exact scenario happened to my wife. Grew up thinking her dad was her dad and that she was of some certain ancestry.

I remember her and I both spitting into a tube in our SF apartment in San Francisco in 2012 and mailing them off.

A few years later, we look at the ancestry data and there is a big surprise (she was ~50% something that she was sure 0% before that).

Turns out her dad wasn’t her dad and she was donor conceived — this has potentially huge health implications if you don’t know this.

By some fortunate circumstance, she ultimately found the donor… and 27 (and counting) siblings! Turns out the clinic where this all went down at in the early 1980s was sketchy and lied to a whole bunch of people and misused samples.

Desloratadine (Clarinex, Aerius) is a selective H1-antihistamine which functions as an inverse agonist at the histamine H1 receptor.

From Wikipedia:

> At very high doses, it is also an antagonist at various subtypes of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. This effect is not relevant for the drug's action at therapeutic doses.

Thus, it is an anticholinergic only at very high doses, and it does not readily pass the BBB, therefore drowsiness is NOT likely (probably at very high doses only). At any rate, it does not affect the CNS at therapeutic doses, so memory / cognition issues, along with drowsiness are not an issue.

FWIW "2% of Caucasians and 18% of people from African descent are desloratadine poor metabolizers.", meaning "In these people, the drug reaches threefold higher plasma concentrations at seven hours after intake, and it has a half-life of 89 hours (compared to a 27-hour half-life in normal metabolizers). Adverse effects were reported at similar rates in poor metabolizers, suggesting that it is not clinically relevant.".
this could be a useful mechanism actually... shame it didn't work out

Try to turn everything into arrays. Maps, hashmaps are convenient, but if possible, sort your data and use parallel arrays. Deques of fixed size turn into ring buffers. At work we have invented several data structures over the years with weird names and they all make use of some trick to shave off memory allocation times when working with time series.
Painful to write vs painful to audit for correctness.

Writing code that you barely understand is a surefire recipe to have /no clue/ how to debug said code (because debugging it will be more complex).

Not sure I follow; you don't need to use podlet at all unless you're migrating from existing compose files and want some help. I don't use it outside of a few one-offs. If you're referring to "pods" as in the kubernetes-style container orchestration, than you don't have to use those either. Did you happen to try this on Ubuntu/Debian? Both distros tend to have very old versions of Podman in the repos. TBH podman was not worth using before 4.2 or so, no matter what Red Hat said. I'm not sure I'm following your situation/ use-case though.

If you're already running podman containers as systemd units, then the main benefit would probably be better systemd integration and without having to write separate compose files. If you're fine with the latter than A) you're the only person I've met who's happy with podman compose and B) you probably won't gain that much from switching to quadlets. Out of curiosity, does systemd spinning up podman-compose still properly keep the resulting container processes in the same cgroup? If not, that would be a decent benefit to swapping to quadlets.
This hypothesis could be tested, now that major league baseball tracks the positions of players in games. In the MLB app they show animations of good outfield plays with "catch difficulty" scores assigned, based (in part) on the straight-line distance from the fielder's initial position to the position of the catch. The "routes" on the best catches are always nearly-straight lines, which suggests that high-level players have developed exactly this intuitive sense.

Certainly what I was coached to do, what outfielders say they do, and what I see watching the game, is to "read" the ball, run towards where you think the ball is going, and then track the ball on the way. I was and am a shitty outfielder, in part because I never developed a fast-enough intuitive sense of where the ball is going (and because, well, I'm damn slow), but watch the most famous Catch[1] caught on film, and it sure looks like Mays knew right away that ball was hit over his head.

For rust consumers, there's Rustix. It exposes a lot of libc like things. And indeed has a libc backend. But it also has a linux_raw backend. https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix

I wonder if it would be possible or desireable to add a c-ward backend to Rustix? Worth pointing out, Sunfishcodes is also one of the principal maintainers of Rustix.
I meant "misinfo guru" in that case, especially because you directed that at the other person ("tells you").

You don't need to say things like "they are saying nonsense" - it's enough to provide correct information that addresses incorrect information.
Just for info, you can use Docker's official compose (Go) client [1] and podlet [2] (mentioned in the article) with podman to run compose files.

There are still maintained and supported older versions of node.js by the likes of Debian, Ubuntu, Enterprise Linuxes. They backport security fixes and such during a longer extended window but are unlikely to port ESM-require support. It may not be relevant to you and obv nobody's obliging you to also support those users, just saying it's not that binary.
I tend to buy large appliances and be ready to return them within exactly 24 hours (as homedepot/lowes allow for 48 hours typically). So make sure when you buy an appliance, you're READY to install-and return if something like this happens.

> So once you've gotten rid of all the junior software engineers, you will no longer generate any more senior ones.

it's because those who are making these replacement decisions are at the CxO level, and they think software engineering is like factory workers. Cogs. A commodity that will always exist.

And not to mention the whole process of senior decay will happen over a long period of time - these CxO's have retired by then with their golden parachute.
Yes, Citicoline is great, too, I agree. As long as it is not Choline bitartrate (most common form) which is pretty useless, the body cannot utilize it whatsoever.

As for what you said regarding alpha-GPC, it is somewhat true:

> Although alpha-GPC is largely considered to be safe due to its structural feature, multiple studies have indicated that a high plasma choline level is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease through trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) produced by gut microbiota from choline. Some studies have highlighted that TMAO increases the likelihood of stroke and cardiovascular disease.11

> In line with this observation, a recent animal model study revealed that even though alpha-GPC supplements improved neurological functions, they increased the risk of atherosclerosis in hyperlipidemic rats. In the future, scientists must elucidate the possible mechanism that associates alpha-GPC with increased cardiovascular risks.

23andMe has been in a deadlock for a while.

- The CEO is effectively the control owner of the company, having 49% of the voting right. She has been trying to take the company private for some time.

- Last August, she proposed to buy all the outstanding shares at $8 per share. The board rejected. She installed a new board, and submitted her proposal again at $2.53 per share. The board rejected. She tried it a third time at $0.4 per share this month, and the board rejected.

- Meanwhile 23andMe was losing $50M every quarter.

So, unable to resolve the issue, the board choosed to enter into the bankruptcy process. I hope this relieves 23andMe from the corporate governance nightmare.
I thought the CEO was trying to take the company private, for pennies to the dollar which caused the independent board to resign (see: https://investors.23andme.com/news-releases/news-release-det...)

The quadlet + MicroOS (or any other Atomic distro i.e. Fedora CoreOS) is a very powerful combo; I've been on the slow process of migrating all my nodes over to MicroOS and pushing for it or something similar at work. The combo of automatic rollbacks for base OS and declarative container configs+auto-updates feels lock they just slot together.

Indeed. When I mentor new lead climbers/belayers, I point out that lead belaying should feel about as stressful as lead climbing. If it doesn’t, you’re not paying attention.
6? That can't be right. I don't know how big a GCU is, so the scale could be up to 1 OOM off, but a full redirection of all simulation capacity should let it integrate out further than that.
I had the chance to attend some of Father Reginaldus’s summer school in 1999, and it sparked a lifelong love of Latin. The article did a wonderful job capturing the verve that Reginaldus brought to the material.

I’ve always imagined the Recurse Center being similar-ish for programming.

The trick for development is to enable the podman socket (for the user for rootless containers) and then use the standalone version of docker-compose.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida_albicans

Candida is not microbial. Candida is a genus of fungus [yeast].

Gut fungus is in an entirely different class of treatment; antibiotics will not eradicate fungi, and fungus tends to grow tendrils and spores and generally work into every moist/dark crevice.

Bacteria can be vanquished by digesting antimicrobials, but viruses are simpler/smaller, and fungus ain’t even in the same kingdom.
Sorry but what is your point? I feel like you got offended by identifying yourself in it, but did not really understand it. My point being, as a non-engineering manager, you can be great at 1) approving holidays 2) doing a bit of project management 3) doing formal 1:1s . But it does not mean much because you don´t understand the work being done and you are just doing performative actions, e.g. busywork. Or we just say, f*ck it, let MBAs and scrum masters keep running our critical engineering businesses and at the end of the day the doors fall off of Boeing airplanes and astronauts end up spending 9 months instead of 9 days in space.
If I understand correctly, this library provides some Torch kernels customized for AMD hardware. Why haven't they just upstreamed them to PyTorch for better adoption? Also, they seem to demo usage with Torch default eager execution mode and not Torch JIT/TorchScript. Is this library compatible with TorchScript?

That would really surprise me, however, I really would like to know more about what they mean by consent; I believe the HN title is a bit misleading since this doesn't state a ban of "compulsory facial recognition", but requires that it is documented, encrypted, and is consensual.

As another comment mentioned, papers get revised during review, usually in response to reviewer comments. Also, some journals (not sure about Nature) do not allow authors to "backport" revisions made in response to reviewer comments to preprints; I guess they view the review process as part of their "value add".
I have a naive question here.

Could this have been avoided if they had used Rust? Or is this a bug that can happen even in Rust code too?
The Guilin rice noodles you get in Beijing is just a non-local copy of the actual dish. You don’t even have to leave China to eat non-local Chinese food, you will find Kungpao Chicken in more places outside of Sichuan (especially Beijing) than you will find it actually in Sichuan.

Hangzhou is very vanilla Chinese food, they like seafood without much spice added, also Ningbo is similar, but you’ll find plenty of Sichuan restaurants in both cities if that doesn’t float your boat. As a foreigner you learn the characters for Sichuan very quickly.
>They can turn it on and know it will boot properly without having to worry about things users had to worry about in the past like drivers, kernel mods, or new packages breaking things – the ghosts of Linux Desktop Past.

I mean, you still need to setup your bootc image to contain those drivers and everything like that. Once you set up Debian, it will always just boot right too. This just seems like Yet Another Immutable Distro™. I guess stuff like this is a bit nicer for things like like game consoles, where you aren't actually using it like a computer and installing "normal" software, but I don't really see the how this will change the Linux desktop.
Because it's the law of the land, and as such it needs to be enforced. And it is a good idea, too.
The format is clearer than podman generate systemd or kubernetes YAML. And the integration with systemd is great.

What annoys me is Podman upstream doesn't offer a repo for Debian/Ubuntu. I was stuck at version 4.3.1 on Debian stable, missed many new features and eventually decided to go back to Docker compose.

> One country, one cuisine.

A professor whose research focused on China (social sciences, not food) told me that Americans also tend to imagine China as similar to the US - one large country. They said it was more like Europe, if Europe was all one federal country - different languages, different cultures, different cuisines, etc.

Holding China together has long been a preoccupation of imperial government. You can see the current regime gradually working to do that, from defeating the Nationalists finally in 1949, and trying to bring into the fold Tibet, Taiwan, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, .... For decades, the People's Liberation Army's main focus was internal, on its own people as in many dictatorships.

Even in the best case scenario for LLMs, they aren't mind readers. They'll be time savers. They're more like compilers for language to code, like how actual compilers transform code to assembly.

The job has changed before, it will change again. It may get easier to enter the industry, but the industry will still exist and will still need subject matter experts a decade from now.
