So let's not do it because it's hard? I think it's a ridiculous attitude. It's an instance of where people that have the ability to change things don't have the incentives to do so because they aren't the ones

Citations needed. This is just a pessimistic speculation based on your experience, but my experience is the exact opposite. So who's right? We should leave this kind of stuff at the door. Is there research comparing the current situati

We’ve all heard horror stories, of course, but I think it would be a mistake to generalize it to the whole industry because we don’t hear about the startups that have perfectly mundane work hours and reasonable diversity. Don’t get me wrong

Sounds like you went the corporate route in your career, which is totally fine. Compared to the startup route, it has its pros and cons, one of which is HR filters and people gaming the system to advance their careers. Just wanted to say th

Thanks for adding sources. This is the first time I’ve heard about physician owned hospitals and I found this study useful: https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/22856850/4558297... TLDR; Previous

I agree, the last thing I want is for the government to try to incentivize the desired behavior via the tax code unless it’s a revenue neutral carbon tax, alas that’s not what the bureaucrats want as it puts them out of work.

And now you’re being downvoted because all of this is unsourced speculation and people here don’t really care for that.

This is my gripe too, as someone who’s recently switched back to Linux after a 10 year OSX hiatus. My current Linux system is designed and developed by thousands of developers who were just trying to get their stuff working for them, each o

Do you have any good examples, historical or otherwise?

Eh, it’s just a company policy that sets expectations and makes it work for us. I haven’t heard anyone complain about distractions lately and I definitely got interrupted more when I was working from the office.

Slack is bad if you use it bad! At a fully remote company that I work at we have “quiet hours” in the afternoon where the expectation is that any messages in the channels are not going to be seen until the next day. Everyone is also encoura

Once again, the article is about JavaScript and everything it says still holds today, introducing async/await didn't change anything. Sync functions can only call other sync functions and use the result immediately. To use an asyn

by guntars 7y ago
Nope, it still holds. It’s in fact impossible to call an async function from a sync function and return the result. To use await you have to make the function async which means the caller needs to be async-aware and so on, all the way to th

The async-std is taking the “always red” approach that the article mentions and that wasn’t possible until now due to async being hot of the presses. The rest of the arguments in the article are based on the point that “red functions are mo

Perhaps it’s simpler and more efficient speed control circuitry. For a DC motor you just need to step down the DC voltage from the batteries. For a brushless motor you basically need a variable frequency inverter that’s necessarily going to

The Bonini’s paradox makes perfect sense, but I don’t think it applies to this case because the law is not trying to model anything, it stands on its own. It’s the same difference as trying to model the law and predict what is and what isn’

Maybe it’s different for the contract law, but I definitely think that legislation could benefit from more formal language. We recently had a disagreement between an NPS officer and another visitor about what constitutes an occupied campsit

It’s funny how you can say that while the comment you replied to is so pale I can’t even read it. Apparently people will try to bury anything that even has an inkling of something they disagree with.

Yep, I’ve seen their solar roofs covering the parking spots in Flagstaff, AZ. It’s a win, win - they get power and it keeps the cars cooler.

As long as government sites don’t use it, it’s fine. You don’t need legislation for every single offense, perceived or otherwise. If you don’t like ReCaptcha, block it with an ad blocker and if a site requires it, don’t use it and let them

Any high deductible plan will do that, but he’s covered after that. It’d also be conducive to his wallet if they get born before Jan 1st.

What’s the reasoning behind your statement? I think both are already being done, the economics are just not there yet. Digging up free energy from the ground is just too cheap.
