I wish more people thought this way. No wants to think about games with salary. People expect to be paid similar to others like them, it’s pretty simple. Anything less is a ticking time bomb of discontent.
Agreed, i spend a couple minutes verifying their resume through fizz buzz type questions. Then figure out how they react when they don’t know something. Make sure they can collaborate. At this point you get a decent idea of how that person fits, or doesn’t. It really only takes 20 minutes of tech questions and 10 of shooting the shit. Pro-tip for getting hired with most interviewers is to get them to do most of the talking and parrot back what they say they want.
Link from article on what purdy talks about bioaccumulation, but not at toxic levels, with some concerns that it could biomagnify in the food chain. The article blows this up and claims they knew all the harms then. Just bullshit. https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Cases/3M/docs/PTX/PTX1533....
I think this is naive. Selling off a large company like this is not smart, think about it for a minute. First, who owns 3M (I own a handful of shares for example). Average shareholders will get screwed. Then think about who will buy their assets (IP and manufacturing). Will it be foreign companies? What will the contracts for medical supplies look like for like? Companies that discover they are doing harm will be incentivized to bury, lie, and hide. It’s not that simple,
That is what should be done, but it’s becoming rare. Bangerter Highway in Utah comes to mind as a good one. I know Colorado is a state big on vision zero policy, where if you go the posted speed you will hit every single light.
I suspect vision zero policy and phones are also major contributors. Traffic Engineers across the country are setting traffic lights to reduce the flow of traffic to 20mph without changing the actual speed limit. It’s making people crazy.
I’ll probably just use test after reading this, I write bash scripts infrequently enough that if statements always get me (whitespace). Now that i see the why it’s super obvious, and using test helps communicate that it’s just args
And not all particulates are the same. If i recall, wood burning yields rather large particulates which are less bad then something like diesel fumes, which are smaller. I find some of the comments here strange… complaining about lack of insulation and use of wood. While the alternative is over insulation with inevitable mold in the walls from vapor.
Geothermal is very different than air. In my state that hole will run you about 20k alone, if they let you drill it the first place. I have an air-air heat pump and i hate it, mostly due to air flow issues, but they really don’t work well in low temps.
I’m not sure that article really aged well. Code rots pretty quickly nowadays. Convoluted old code no one understands starts to create wicked bugs as future teams wedge in new features. Processors get overloaded. Memory leaks appear. Libraries evolve. Design trends change.
George borjas is an academic that studies this if people are curious. I think the world will come to see economic migration as a sin in the future. It’s a great idea for a generation or two, but then how long?
I also see plenty of smart young guns. And if i think back I was better myself when I was younger. I’m less excited by digging into problems with each passing year.
I think people kind of miss the idea of kwargs in python, the idea is that they are a dict. You can cast a dict to kwargs, in contrast to positional args.
I see the typedict being super useful. I really don’t see your argument and would say that this typed dict is more developer friendly than having positional arguments.

A lot of doctors are process oriented as well. Which is fine most of the time. But I was similarly disturbed when a specialist had zero clue what the approx half life of one of the primary drugs they use was. There was a situation that didn’t fit the book and i just looked it up for them on the spot. They didn’t like me.
I’ve noticed the comments on hn become more meth curious over the last couple of years… I know the state of CO has been pressuring doctors not to prescribe aderall. Mine got taken away because i only took it when i needed to force myself to really work (a few times a month). Now i use pseudoephedrine.
I’ve worked in security before and i don’t really think the government should be involved that much. There are so many different situations to consider. What i would support is the fcc coming up with a list of common patterns and then forcing devices to state which, if any, pattern they follow. I have a weather station for example which doesn’t really need any security on the device end.
