I had a call with a recruiter the other day, who told me that they had simply stopped hiring juniors at all, when not too long ago they would be camping out at colleges on graduation day to snipe fresh graduates. This is going to a problem

This is something that's been simmering in the back of my mind for a while. Using an AI Agent instead of talking to your human colleagues deprives both of you from learning opportunities. There are probably short term gains in many cas

The MEPs should put as much pressure as possible on them until the Commission stops this foolishness, abandons this proposal, and starts acting transparently. If they don't, the Commission should step down, as their Orwellian power gra

I don't think so. A lot of managers value people who excel at talking big while doing little (if any) useful work, while they ignore the useful people who actually get things done.

When I do things for myself, I cut every corner until everything is spherical. But when I do things for others, I get joy from doing good work. Half-arsing something makes me feel ashamed. Not everything I do is done well, motivation waxes

> CPAP helps, but it doesn't address the root cause. Fixing it is a matter of airway geometry, with many obstructions along the way. It's not as simple as you make it seem. There are some things that are "easy" to fix

I think you might be living in a bubble of some sort? Spring, specifically Spring Boot, is extremely popular. Calling it unfashionable is simply wrong. I agree that it is a cancer. Monocultures are rarely a good idea. And I strongly prefer

Because it usually is an issue of titration or mask fit. There are some cases of people have complex sleep apnea, or having awfully non-compliant airways that require uncomfortably high pressures. But the vast majority of people can tolerat

I will keep beating this horse to death, but the vast majority of those who cannot tolerate CPAP are improperly titrated and/or have a mask that isn't right for them and/or are having leaks. Often all of the above. That 4 hou

I disagree. APAP is reactive, by the time it kicks in you've already had an event. But if it works for you, all the better.

Untreated sleep apnea is often a cause of overweight. Being obese can contribute to sleep apnea, but unless you're extremely obese, it's rarely the cause.

It's a common issue. If you breathe through your mouth at night, it's often because you can't get enough air because your airway is compromised. Once you add PAP, that problem goes away, and many people can revert to nasal br

Almost everyone can tolerate CPAP. The problem is that the medical establishment sucks at helping people adjust and is awful at properly titrating them. Followup is abysmal. If they did a better job of that, compliance numbers would skyrock

> also on my relationship with my partner That's not really much of an issue. There's an adjustment period, and there's a bit of an art to finding an appropriate mask. One that fits perfectly fine for you might have an exh

I do. It's not the greatest, but you get used to it, and it makes sleep a hell of a lot better.

You're not wrong, in that this is proper tongue posture. But that's not going to cure sleep apnea. Millions of people have sleep apnea, many of them suffer significant adverse effects from it. Silly little aphorisms like this real

> live the rest of their lives completely unhampered Blood pressure medication has numerous side effects. Increased blood pressure during sleep is the worst kind of hypertension ("reverse dipping").

I swear CPAP wouldn't get such a bad rep if the media would stop using pictures of men with obscenely large full face masks. The most commonly used CPAP mask is probably the minimalist Resmed P10 [1]. It looks a lot less intimidating t

Not just early adulthood. It's a very good description of how I felt after I got laid off.

Ah yes, that old chestnut again. Because there's only ever one way to secure anything, and defense in depth is apparently meaningless. Comments like this are not helpful.

I wish DNS providers offered more granular access control. Some offer an API key per zone, others have a single key which grants access to every single zone in your account. I haven't come across any that offer "acme-only" AP

That feels like a disingenuous take. If the composites in wind turbine blades are an environmental problem, then so is nuclear waste and so are the semiconductors in solar panels.

Those blades are a major engineering challenge. Have a friend who's a materials scientist who works on those blades. Those things experience crazy stresses because they're so huge. Failures can be pretty catastrophic. I don't

Not sure about you, but most smokers I'm aware of smoke way more frequently than anyone can reasonably have sex. There would probably be significant benefits to swapping the frequency of those habbits, but I'm afraid there might b

I don't understand why you would want to select Inglés instead of English? You want to selecf English, or Español, or Nederlands, or Deutsch, or whatever language. If makes no sense for it to be translated.

Not accepting Accept-Language is one of my major pet peeves. What makes it worse is that many multilingual websites translate their language-switching buttons and the list of languages to the current language .... which is beyond fucking st
