I’ve got three files open right now. One is calculating contract rates based on hourly, weekly, and monthly contracts and various discounts. One is a list of RFPs, contacts for them, and their status. One is costing out a few options for a home office setup.

So a combination of lists and light calculations.

In the past I’ve also used them as awkward makeshift databases and leaned heavily on conditional formatting to highlight data points that required action.

Actually, Moore's law says nothing about speed, just the number of transistors you can stuff into the thing. Plus progress has been leveling off.

If you’re a woman, almost certainly. If you’re a man and don’t have a homemaker as a spouse, probably. If you’re a man and have a homemaker as a spouse, then only as much as you choose.

Heh. I’m just curious, and the answer might affect my decision whether to use something like this, but you have a point.

What checks?

Fwiw, this is by Jane Jacobs, author of the classic “Death and Life of American Cities”. She was decades ahead of her time in thinking about how to make cities livable and appealing.

I assume each blog is distinct FIOS he’s by the sender’s email address?

What happens if someone sends an email spoofing your FROM address?

Plagiarism and copyright violation are not the same thing.

Plagiarism is an ethical offense but not a legal one and isn’t limited to direct reuse. It includes using ideas (even in your own words or representation) without attributing them.

Copyright violation is a legal offense and applies to direct reuse (including various forms of “remixing”).

(IANAL, this is not legal advice.)

So then why do you buy from amazon instead of elsewhere?

Nope. The serif fonts of the earlier versions are easier to read on a high DPI screen; and the extra margins on this one make it far too narrow to read comfortably on a phone.

You could. But there are enough people out there who are ignorant about copyright that you’re less likely to end up with violations if you include it.

I find it useful to write out a workflow of things the code will need to do from a high level.

Ex: “Validate form input” or “filter API response based on submitted criteria”

Those become doc blocks for functions and classes.

Then I break those down into more granular directives still more abstract than pseudo code.

Ex: “determine whether name input is alphabetical” or “iterate response. check contents of all 3 phone fields against submitted value”

Writing both code and tests against that then becomes nearly trivial.

The GP’s point is that the system that incentivizes this is flawed and needs to change. Do you disagree?

Most of this advice is exactly what I’d give.

I wouldn’t go as far as jacket and tie on day one, but definitely arrive dressed a full level more formally than you will most days. Button down and chinos rather than t-shirt and jeans. Blazer rather than polo shirt. Etc.

This is awesome. But nobody’s going to buy it if they have to drive it sharing the road with hulking SUVs. It’s nearly as dangerous as a motorcycle simply because it is so small and light. The only advantage is protection from the weather.

It might not be. But we can’t count on that either, given that shorter timeframes are common for many coronaviruses. It would be very foolish to act yet on an assumption that immunity lasts years.

We still don’t even know whether immunity to this lasts more than a few months (as is common with other coronaviruses). So it’s premature to talk about herd immunity regardless.

Dollar cost averaging into an index fund.

After paying down any high interest debts and earmarking at least 3 months worth of living expenses into a savings account or other cash equivalent as an emergency fund.

There’s a great decision making flowchart floating around somewhere or other.

There seems to be a through-line that the whole thing is related to clotting and coagulation. That basically it's not destroying lung tissue so much as preventing the blood from properly absorbing oxygen from the lungs.

Based off a fantastic Crichton book, fwiw.

The technical predictions are hit and miss (as such things tend to be), but this bit is prescient:

> On the one hand, your workload will multiply as you bat away each glitch resulting from the increased number of gadgets in your life. On the other, you will be forced to take on moral questions no human has ever faced. When will you find time to do that? How will you contemplate when everything is speeding up and time for reflection is practically nonexistent?

Make time to speak more with my manager about the role I wanted that didn’t seem to be available, rather than accepting that role at a less stable company and then getting laid off from it due to cash flow problems a month after my former manager had hired someone else into the role I’d wanted.

Sounds like you’re looking for a wiki?

In densely populated areas like much of Europe, a half hour drive is considered a pretty meaningful distance. Plus a lot fewer people have cars than in the US.

A lot of these differences are simply due to underreporting because people aren’t being tested. We really need to be looking not at confirmed case rates but at rates of death above the average for the time of year.

Perhaps by putting our concern into preventing the lines from blurring more than into worrying about private platform censorship in and of itself?

You mean this?
