   You might want to email Roger Linn about it, he'll probably have some good advice / ideas.

   I don't either Cal or the author would have a problem with exec assistants - they're being paid for that. Where it can be a problem is when there are "attentive" people on a team and "inattentive" people who ar

   You can bolt one in / under / on the side, and map controls for it. The MVP is duct tape but it's possible to get a small synth & battery into the case. I know it's not quite the same thing as you're asking for,

   More or less you should assume that any consumer contract promises you exactly the minimum allowable within the framework of applicable laws. That is the intent. Practically what this means is that it is useless to negotiate with big compa

   Thanks for being patient with me. From this point of view GMs are made by a system that provides high quality coaching and training. You can't do it by yourself! and that this system is not providing adequate support to girls and wom

   I'm still not sure! But I could absolutely believe it, it's plausible. A good explanation should account for the fact that Russia and China produce proportionally more female GMs. I wonder if the level of toxicity / harassmen

   I guess that its not clear to me what structural difficulties women would face if they want to be a chess GM. I acknowledge this may be due to a lack of sensitivity or insight on my part. So given this statement: > excessively male-domin

   Women are get more degrees than men nearly everywhere in the west, hardly anybody gets married before 25, where are all the GMs? (I'm not disputing that there may be systemic factors keeping women out of chess or holding them back from

    Yep, I guess the reality is that they make all their money from "enterprise-like" sales to educational institutions. Speculating: the reason they slap a $50 charge "per paper" for non affiliated access is that they don&#

    Well the archival and distribution costs (the only part they really do) don't seem like they should cost $50 for say a PDF file in the 10s of MBs. I think the fair value of what Elsevier (say) provide is > $0, but it's interest

    What confuses me is there are more old people than there used to be. So in theory "older people stuff" should be thriving. But lots of hobbies / activities / associations are percieved as dying off as elderly members a

    I think the secret to success in lending to family and friends is to not really expect to see the money again (and still be OK doing it). This still doesn't solve all the kinds of drama and conflict that can come up (e.g. siblings can

    If I am reading these graphs correctly, don't they support hikingsimulator's point? The mean has gone up but the median has gone down.

    AFAIK the people who pay RedHat money are F500, banks, other enterprise and government, i.e, "boring" organisations that absolutely could not care less how much RedHat does or does not give back to the community. If you are lookin

    Thanks I think this is a really interesting way to look at things. What is the market for "wide" applications though? It seems like any particular business can only really support one or two of them, for some that will be SAP and

    Home brands of durable goods in the last 10 years have pretty much always been "Chinese crap" (I use this term loosely, sometimes the products are pretty good). BUT, and this is the key part - buyer teams from major brands vet t

    I know this is a very peripheral point but habitable "unclaimed" land has not really existed through most of human history. At best there might be the occasional power vacuum. Just existing is a political act and the unit of human

    There are days when I feel like a robot - I have almost no agency from morning until night. It really drags me down when it goes on for more than a few days consecutively. It's weird because my job is OK and I love my kids, and it&#x27

    Agree, it's a complicated conversation because the tools support many different ways of working - and most of them can be made to work with different tradeoffs. A team that e.g owns its own microservice IaC can absolutely maintain a se

    It's not exactly about the folder, the IaC from a single folder / project can be instantiated in multiple places. Each time you do that, it has a unique state file, so I usually hear it referred to as a "state". In cfn y

    Here's my #1 tip, most important: Try to keep your stateful resources / services in different "stacks" than your stateful things. Absolutely 100% completely obvious, maybe too obvious? Because none of these guides ever m

    The details matter, beyond the "safe and effective!" catchphrase. Vaccinate teenagers? kids? Babies? One shot? Four shots? Seasonal boosters? Should 30 yos take the same shots as a 75yo? Are antibody-only studies good at measuring

    IMHO the traditions of debate are more analogous to boxing than say, philosophy - a competitive endeavour, emphasising technique and effectiveness rather than a truth-seeking activity per se. I think this is a legimate point of view despite

    The barriers are things like integration effort, carrying cost (keeping up with updates and the toil to keep the tool going), poor signal / noise ratio and subsequent triage and debugging effort, additional feedback to dev team (valu

    I think the risk is more feeling trapped. e.g. buying into a housing market you probably couldn't afford if you were taking more risk or bootstrapping. It catches up to you fast, especially if you're in the midlife crisis age band

    It's hard for me to put my finger on it exactly but at this point NUCs just feel more hackable . For me, that's why the mini is not a satisfactory replacement. If you want a little kube node, if you prefer the way ubuntu and debi
