As you get older you find you can't quite handle things the same as before. I take 48 hours off of caffeine each week, and limit my daily dose on the days I make use of it. Perhaps one day I'll quit entirely. I can definitely fe

vim is kinda hard to follow and emacs is probably too complex. Start with some simpler open-source editors like joe, nano, or gEdit. neovim is probably a lot easier to follow than vim, as well. You could also peruse these github projects

The study indeed did not set out to prove negative efficacy but a negative VE of 75% is a result that absolutely warrants further research.

From the lancet study: "Vaccine effectiveness evaluated at least 7 days after receipt of the third dose, compared with receiving only two doses at least 5 months ago". Literally no control for recency. Newer research (admittedly,

How much is "to a certain extent"? Has this been quantified? Because I recall Fauci saying it "100%" prevent hospitalizations and it turns out it was far, far less than 100%.

This hasn't been peer-reviewed yet, but preliminary studies are showing that the vaccines actually do have negative efficacy after 90 days: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.20.21267966v... Yet

Yet people who are vaccinated can still transmit the disease. So how do you quantify the excess risk? Particularly for those who are young and healthy and unlikely to develop severe viral loads or complications? Are there any studies tha

Looking at the vaccination materials my wife got when she was vaccinated, I noticed some disturbing notes including that animal trials had never been completed. Being healthy and under 40, and given how quickly these vaccines were rushed ou

There is no test to be a math teacher. This is one of the tests you have to pass to be a teacher. When you begin as a teacher it's not typically up to you which subjects you will teach.

I've been having this problem a lot recently. First Rackspace, later CloudFlare. Most recently Twitter accused me of being a robot and asked me to verify that I'm a human by posting a government-issued ID even though I rarely us

Not quite true. Congress has been explicitly exempted from insider trading regulations.

If you're "CTO of a company that is growing like crazy" then you shouldn't be writing code anymore. You need to develop your management skills. If you can't do that, then it's time to step aside.

Warrantless spying should be illegal full stop. Let alone installing equipment on someone's land or cutting down their trees. I hope the government agency responsible for this is soundly reprimanded in court.

I tried doing the modules tutorial a while back but had difficulty with the directory structure. At some point I think the "recommended" directory structure became mandatory and I don't think my personal dev environment ever

So now that go has generics and modules, is there an up-to-date intro for writing cutting-edge Go code for people who are already pretty familiar with the older styles?

Not true on most phones. Samsung and a lot of other manufacturers package a lot of non-removable apps and customizations to make the OS "theirs". Although I do find Google's line of phones to be relatively bloatware-free.

Same. Now I organize my Trello projects in a series of markdown files and subdirectories in my home directory. Went from being a paid user of a service to just making text files because of how badly they fucked-up that product.

Generally speaking, if you want to search for a job, Indeed is the better tool. If, however, you'd rather have recruiters hit you up then use LinkedIn.

I do wonder whether there's not some implicit benefit to this kind of management. Is it possible that by dissuading all but the most confident committers the project's contribution team self-selected for stronger devs? That woul
