What happens if the hungry mind is too hungry for your menial CRUD job, and you were actually better off with the unhungry mind that is content to do its job and go home at the end of the day?

You have to rely on your decades-long confirmation bias. I doubt the author (or anyone) goes back to their interview notes a year after hiring the candidate to see how much they got right.

I went somewhat differently, I tried a split wireless keyboard and couldn't go back after that but Bluetooth was flaky, so I designed my own (wired) one. Best keyboard I've ever used.

I'm generally (and a little counterintuitively) against improving the quality of things I try. I noticed that the hedonic treadmill makes it so that my level of enjoyment is the same as the lower-quality thing, it just makes it so I ca

> Drink it black, and get used to it. If you're going to end your advice with "get used to it", do you really need everything that came before?

Hmm, what language lets you use new libraries with old compilers? The only ones I can think of are languages that have stopped being developed, because as soon one of your dependencies uses a new feature, you're done. I'm just not

You can just have a CI job generate a CI config file and have GitLab CI load that into a child pipeline. Look up dynamic pipelines.

> Excess deaths capture the deaths from lockdown related causes too, like my grandmother, who died when her social life was indefinitely stopped, and teenagers that committed suicide due to lockdowns If only we had an easy mathematical

I don't understand your argument. You're saying that because people didn't mind dying from infectous diseases at a time where scraping your hand could prove deadly, we shouldn't mind it today either?

Interesting that way fewer people died after the 1918 pandemic. I assume it "weeded out" all the people who were likely to die soon anyway, but what's more interesting is that the negative bar seems to be longer than the

That makes sense, I misunderstood, thanks.
462.
by StavrosK 5y ago
Oh, I see, I thought they meant that the excess deaths were caused by obesity, not by COVID19 leading to higher rates of death among the obese. That makes more sense.

by StavrosK 5y ago
That's a great visualization, thank you.

I doubt the entire US became sharply more obese in the past year, though, so much so that it also died from it.

That's an interesting thought. What would happen in court if you went with that? "The license said to only install if you accept the license, but since I reject the license, I'm not bound by its contents, so I installed even

Why?

by StavrosK 5y ago
That's interesting, why is that?

by StavrosK 5y ago
Why? You want to compare pre-COVID to COVID.

Why wouldn't an accurately simulated brain be considered a person?

> Seems pretty easy to sanction Iran, just ban the use of those same coins. Seems pretty easy for Iran to unsanction itself, just remove the "official miner" requirement.

Same here, I thought it caused cURL to do a GET request and throw away the body, but it doesn't, and I've gotten different results more than once.

I don't think it takes a ton, they were probably overcompensating.

Well, I am unable to give someone your money because you won't agree. It's not against the laws of physics, but I still can't do it. Google can do it, they just don't want to. Hell, they can even change their policies

Do you throw that code away and start over when you're done prototyping?
476.
by StavrosK 6y ago
When I'm prototyping or hacking something together, it eventually becomes production. I cannot relate to people who make prototypes to throw away, I've never done it, and I don't know why I'd do it. Due to that, I write

Hm, that's too bad. Is there a better way to compress already-compressed streams? I find having to do that a lot due to a use case that's not very relevant here.

The sentence would have worked just as well with "being condescending" in place of "mansplaining". To me, mansplaining has clear gender overtones.

I've been using this for a while (and even wrote the python library for it), it has worked quite well. My only feedback is that the release process was a bit too fast, frequently changing and breaking things without much API stability,
