I should be unanimous, it's what the constitution says. If you don't like it you need to go through the amendment process.

At my current job I get 25 days of PTO a year, with a cap of 30 days, plus company holidays (12 or so?), plus 5 days the entire company shuts down. I have to be careful not to hit my cap even taking 4 weeks of vacation because it’s still less than I earn. You have “unlimited” pto and take half of the vacation I do. If you ever change jobs you’ll get $0, while I’ll get a bonus.

I think that's true, but I like that this site includes a "ESTIMATED MUNITIONS & EQUIPMENT COSTS" section that shows the value of actual, expended munitions which are all one-time costs directly resulting from the war.

It depends a lot on the type of industry I would think.

I'd say it's about doing things at the next level to show you're ready for that level. So for moving from a Sr to a Staff position might involve doing more mentoring of the team, showing that you are using your knowledge to improve the efficiency of both your team and other teams, etc.

Both NPM and Yarn have a way to disable install scripts which everyone should do if at all possible.

You can also have an index file that describes when to use each file (nest with additional folders and index files as needed) and tell the agent to check the index for any relevant documentation they should read before they start. Sometimes it will forget and not consult the docs but often it will consult the relevant docs first to load just the things it needs for the task at hand.

A one time cost is fine if you don’t mind the app breaking next time Apple updates iOS. There is an ongoing cost to ensuring the app continues to work.

Sure but robots don’t join unions or ask for a pay raise or benefits.

Just tell them you’ll pay half now and half after landing.

For me I mostly use Duolingo as a mechanism to encourage myself to spend time learning each day. I find that it's helpful for reviewing a lot of basic vocabulary, but I typically supplement it with other stuff (listening to music, watching shows, youtube language channels, AI conversations, etc). I find I make the most progress when I choose to do things that are challenging which Duolingo really is not.

I think he meant export taxes or export duties.

I enjoy Foil _because_ of right of way, it encourages blade work, movement and technique. Without right of way Epee is quite boring to watch because the fencers spend so much time trying to figure out how to hit their opponent without being hit themselves, but the lack of rules makes it easy to learn. Saber kind of has the opposite problem in that it's so fast it's hard to watch and there is very little extended blade work. To each their own though.

Ember is one of those frameworks that isn't as "flashy" as the latest and greatest javascript frameworks, but it just keeps quietly working and adopting new techniques from the more popular frameworks on a consistent and easy to follow schedule. They even make upgrading to the latest way of doing things relatively painless by providing scripts to automate many upgrades for you.

1. Before removing a feature in a major version, it lands as a deprecation in the previous major. A deprecation is only enabled by default once we have a clearly documented migration strategy that covers the use-cases of the old feature.

2. When we ship a new major, the only thing it does it flip deprecations targeting that new major into errors.

I think you are confusing Boom with NASA’s QUESST project. https://www.nasa.gov/mission/quesst/

At least some of the difference is that building codes can be a lot more lax in Texas as compared to Canada. It rarely gets as cold, and certainly not for as long.

As I understand it, full sequencing is a _lot_ more expensive. 23 and me currently shows the genotyping is like $100 while sequencing is $1000. It’s probably too expensive and time consuming for them to sequence everybody’s samples unless they pay for it.

It’s short for Source Forge which is still around technically but a shadow of its former self.

Did they call the police or 911? There is a big difference between the two.

Weren't all of the new M3 Macs announced the same price as they previously were or lower? Same with the recently announced iPhones? Or am I mis-remembering? Seems like prices not increasing given all the recent inflation are actually a price decrease pretty much across the board not an increase on the average selling price?

It's pretty fast, but pretty well required because once you lose pressurization you want to get down to a normal pressure level quickly as staying at a high altitude is not particularly comfortable and everyone in the aircraft needs to have supplemental oxygen until you get under 10,000 feet. If anyone doesn't get a mask on they could be in trouble due to lack of oxygen.

I wish Apple Maps had a North Up mode. Unfortunately it doesn't and I had to abandon Google Maps because they made some algorithm changes that make it do dumb things like try to take you up a blocked private road and generally avoids the simpler routes in favor of a more "efficient" one.

Adam Connover has a video that pretty directly contradicts this assertion. I'm sure the truth is somewhere in-between. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cu6EbELZ6I

4 Million Pixels is so terrible for an AR/VR headset. 23 million pixels will be indistinguishable from reality for all intents and purposes.

I can't really imagine it will be a job long term. It's more of a skill you use for some other task. Not that different from having good google search skills as a programmer.

Reminds me of this Brian Regan bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBJ6yptGqm4

Not necessarily, if he gets a lot of airtime and is seen as identifying and fixing problems he could get a real big boost. Most of the problems the Transportation Secretary has to deal with are the fault of aging systems, a limited budget from congress, etc.

Thus far I’ve really enjoyed https://xstate.js.org/. It’s fantastic for ensuring that your application is in an expected state and to control transitions between states. When it’s overkill you can often just drop to useState for simple stuff.

Sonatype found a whole bunch of those and blogged about it in August. https://blog.sonatype.com/more-than-200-cryptominers-flood-n...
