Argh is this real or not? Would energy radiated away as a result of inductance be analogous to energy radiated away by gravitational waves in the "water pressure analogy"?
I really just need a closet in SF with my own gear and off to the races.
It's a shame slavery doesn't exist any longer. I'd sell myself to a company owned by a shell company I control in a state where slavery is illegal and siphon all my income that way.
Really? I'm a dev (although not at Facebook) and I travel for work several times a year. Also, all of the remote employees I've worked with have traveled to the office occasionally.
dunno i’ve been fully remote for 6 years now. Many reasons people get together. Several times a year is my experience. Would be a tough pill to swallow to have to secretly travel to town, get a hotel, all on my own dime. What a huge stress & pain in the ass.
edit: In fact, “get the team together quarterly” is, last I heard, pretty standard guidance for distributed teams. I think it’s a fair assumption if you have little experience working remote. There’s more travel involved than you think though.
That is as true for any flu - or indeed any disease - as it is for COVID-19. There are many diseases out there and most people don't know very much about any of them regarding what a 2nd infection might do. It isn't a reason for them to behave any differently to how they behaved in 2019.
How common is that? I know there have been a few cases where it's believed to happen, but similarly there are some cases of people getting chicken pox more than once. With chickenpox, that's rare enough that chicken pox is generally considered something that you only get once, but it does happen.
That doesn't answer my question though. What does the data actually say about the covid reinfection rate? I've heard of anecdotes, but haven't seen any numbers.
> too much faith in dependency oriented programming
Which is why it's a distraction to even consider this particular person's track record.
Even if this same person pulled one critical package a month for the next year, the fundamental problem is still that the ecosystem in general relies on parties with no obligations to manage critical dependencies.
Does this mean that you think the risk of serious morbidity or mortality is overestimated, or because you think at some point the reduction in social interaction is worse than the pandemic itself?
This is sort of inevitable though: if the disease were not serious and measures were an overreaction, you would see little change as they were lifted. If the disease were serious, measures were effective and they were lifted sufficiently late, you would also hope to not see much difference after they were lifted. The only cases one would expect to see a large increase in cases would be if the measures were ineffective (but then you’d also have seen an increase while the measures were in place) or if the measures were lifted too early.
Personally I’m mostly indifferent to whether or not the current restrictions are an overreaction, though I’m in the fortunate position of not being particularly severely affected by them. I would rather an overreaction than an underreaction.
> Google Buzz publicly disclosed (on the user's Google profile) a list of the names of Gmail contacts that the user has most frequently emailed or chatted with.
Google Buzz is something you definitely don't want to be similar to.
Any diagram like this should include an estimate of usage, and how much that usage will cost, for every "block of architecture" displayed. Absent that, it's impossible to tell whether it's a good idea or a bad idea.
Moreover the cloud providers should make it harder for an uncontrolled "block of architecture" to accidentally spend too much money. The focus seems to be on "always available", but depending on how fast it's spending your money, it might be better if it crashed.
Expanding further, perhaps each "block of architecture" should have a separate LLC dedicated to it to control billing liability. Incorporate your "lambda fanout" to keep it from bankrupting your "certificate manager" when it goes haywire, and let it go out of business separately.
AWS includes a boatload of free calls in both Lambda and API Gateway per account. So set your API Gateway call limit at/below the free limit and Bob’s your uncle.
What’s harder is when your app hits an Amazon limit and you have to figure out if it’s hard or soft, how quickly your TAM can do something about it, etc.
Generic data structures work great if they use a void* since malloc returns a void*. Just malloc your structs, and suddenly a single set of 10 or so functions can work with all data types to build queues, lists, hash maps, etc
You're missing the point by focusing on the job search information specifically.
Any information provided without a clear understanding that it would be made public should not now be made public by default, even if it is just a name and some badges.
There's phone booths for companies that are already being produced & sold. It actually has a fan to just vent air out and take it in from the bottom. Nothing blowing on your head...
Or fan sucking air upwards -- negative pressure. Tiny floor registers may help with convection too, in order to maintain temperature.
I've been running my bathroom exhaust fan while WFHing these days and it's been getting rid of all kinds of smells and vapors in my apartment without me opening the windows.
Just be aware of where the air is coming into your apartment from. If it's coming through the walls or attic and being 'filtered' through decades old insulation potentially filled with animal droppings or carcases it's probably not that great for you. Modern builds have HRVs which bring in fresh filtered air from outside.
