I noticed One Medical is actually already a publicly traded company under ONEM. I'd think this is quite a bit different, than if Amazon bought a nonprofit hospital/health system like Sutter Health, or Allegheny Health Network, or even the clinic across your street that you naturally assume is a nonprofit.

Keep in mind that dogfooding is one thing, and actually making improvements based on it is another. In plain English, they still might not fix anything they find.

+1. Without citing sources, I will also say I think hospital admins, directors, execs, etc. are constantly looking for ways to cut costs, while the top execs take home millions in pay. Even in nonprofits that haven't been touched by private equity. They don't value the providers, nurses, doctors, or PAs.

I'd absolutely go to an AWS trivia night/lunch hour at work. Maybe GCP? Azure?

I still play games on Flashpoint. Hell, I speedrun and showcase games in Flashpoint during some regular events with my other friends playing ""real"" games. It's not the best UI, but you do have an easy search function to find content you might like.

Gotta be careful to avoid the porn games though. Flashpoint archived some.

If it's legal and Microsoft is ok with it, I guess I'm happy it exists!

When I was a kid I remember poring over all kinds of stuff to make my games run well on the family PC. CCleaner, Disk Cleaner, Disk Defragmenter, turning off a bunch of Windows services and processes in Task Manager, and... there was one other questionable program I can't recall, that disabled a bunch of things when you ran it, then re-enabled it when you quit. I had Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware, and tweaked the registry a bit, IIRC.

My point is, it takes a lot of work to understand what can be turned off to squeeze out performance, but it sounds like something that benefits the user.

The site is being hugged to death unfortunately (or something... I'm getting HTTP 500's on every attempt). I was trying to get it to quiz me on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us, but sadly I'll have to try again later.

Dunno if they still do this, but years ago when I created one email account per service I used (github/jobs/online orders), I didn't have to add a phone number or other 2fa to the Outlook addresses themselves inside Outlook, but I did have to do it for the Gmail addresses. That being said, after a certain period of time, I think Outlook eventually prompted me to add 2fa.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sure there might be some guy going "but, but, it depends on your team! I've never seen this" --but Amazon has a large variety of bitter ex-employees and horror stories.

Update: Through some digging and serious luck, I managed to find where I first heard this story [1] and here are the actual details:

- This is an "I know a guy..." story from a podcast. I don't have any blog posts or written pieces for you.

- The setting: Intel in the 90's

- Allegedly, they hired a team of PhDs to look into designing some "mobile" software -- pretty new back then. No deadlines, management essentially just said "go look into this"

- The project went on for 2 years. Code was designed, but no code came out of it. They more or less just blew millions of $$$.

IBM I believe kept a research group around for 2 years and let them work on whatever they wanted. Results? Basically nothing. So they disbanded the group.

Listen, I love RLM, but I came here to ask why this is on the front page. It's a strange feeling to see a site I used to associate with tech (and startups), now have so many irrelevant posts.

Would categories/subreddits help this site or hurt it more?

Thanks for the article, looks like that one is from 2016. I'll share another article I found with a quick search -- "Saturated fat is more metabolically harmful for the human liver than unsaturated fat or simple sugars" : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29844096/

Now I'm not so sure which is the "primary driver". There are quite a few competing thoughts but maybe the point is you should lower both. That's probably one reason many docs (including mine in the past) recommend cutting both.

No comments on saturated fat vs liver disease (ie fatty liver) though. The common wisdom, I believe, is that you want to avoid sat-fat if you have fatty liver disease. That may not be a killer like cvd, but it is a big deal too.

Lots of people agree Torchlight 3 is a no-go. 1 and 2 are relatively good if slow (save for certain builds)

And I mean.... bad.

That makes sense. Although now I'm curious what the average thief does with a device these days... I wonder if they even know how to get past a login screen, get your info and sell it? Or they just break it down for parts/pawn it off?

Sorry for not coming back to this comment sooner. I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

Fair, but... How many actors globally are trying to specifically break into the average person's machine and map out their home network, ports, services etc? How many American homes (or, well, citizens of other countries) have to worry about insiders and spies selling confidential info and stock tips?

Maybe this is a silly way of making my point, but I just think the average person's home is much less of a juicy target and has much less of an attack surface than a cloud provider. (edits for wording)

I see 2 paths to forgiving yourself. You can either use a valid reason that proves your gaming experience was truly valuable (maybe even more important than staring at OS and driver docs for 20 years), which means you stop beating yourself up -- after all, you did the "right" thing! Or you just make a conscious choice to let go and forgive yourself -- sort of like if a close friend or relative hurt you deeply in some way, and there's no way they can make it up to you, but you chose to forgive them and bury the hatchet anyway. The latter is not fair, but it's not reasonable to expect fairness in everything.

Similar boat as you. I had no close friends growing up and all I did was go to school, play video games, watch gaming channels on YT, eat, and sleep. I spent little time with family. All I ever wanted as a kid was to shun the world, eat junk and be in front of a pc/console forever.

Today, I work as a programmer. I have some close friends from college. I am feeling the gaming drive go away, not 100% sure why. But my gaming experience doesn't quite apply as well to my everyday experiences as it used to. It helps me to just make peace with myself even though I didn't "optimize" that part of my life. I'm still happy and tremendously lucky. (oh yeah, that's another thing -- it might help to be grateful you didn't end up on the street, working shitty jobs, not smart enough to be in tech, dealing with terrible health conditions etc. Life could always be so much worse.)

Cool site, I love the detail each band has. I learned a lot about my favorite bands than I did on Wikipedia or similar. Although, I think each album's user reviews are my least favorite part. You will commonly see every review score from 100% to 0% with justification like "I don't get it, it just sounds whiny" but in long-winded review format.

Out of curiosity, do you have any tools/processes to avoid a situation like putting real secrets in new docs? Such as this popular story from 2017 [0]. And is there a way to automate publishing a test secret(s) to a doc and also send it to the blacklist?

When I see highly upvoted users, I tend to recognize a lot of them as people posting wild and unfounded speculation, drama, conspiracy theories, etc. I'm not terribly interested in those views.

I stole this advice from a Blind post -- If one has trouble matching, one possibility is that they didn't impress the matching interviewers enough (no offense) for them to want the candidate to join. It can be helpful to treat those matching calls as interviews. Of course, it's also possible you don't see a team you like, but you gotta keep looking.

I'd like to side with the article, but it posts no screenshots whatsoever to support its point. I can google it, but come on, at least try.

Could you explain your point a bit more? They are EEE'ing a VSCode extension, so you're going to avoid that and the language, and the entire ecosystem?

Interesting point:

>The work, which was posted on the medRxiv preprint server on 12 July and has not yet been peer reviewed

It would be best to wait for this review to be done first, right?

Congrats on that weight loss. One aspect of the walking as a heavier individual is the stress on the legs/ankles/feet -- I found this out the hard way once I tried getting into jogging/running and ended up giving myself plantar fasciitis (tldr foot issue) a year ago. Still recovering. I kinda wish I biked for cardio instead of doing the walks, but it's not the end of the world.

Congrats on your weight loss, 40 lbs is nothing to write off in my book. I do have a picture of myself from about 300 lbs, and I did look much chubbier then. I guess I mean to say that my overall shape is still along the same pattern -- large gut, thighs, calves, arms, and face/head, etc. Maybe this is not a great analogy, but y=x^2 is a big difference from y=2x^2, and yet it's still a quadratic function -- they don't look too different on a graphing calculator.

Yeah, I think that's a significant part of the explanation. I'm not comfortable with sharing the photos, though, to be honest.
