>See a human with dyed hair and a bunch of metal shit in their face? Different kind of poisonous but still there. Fascinating. Can you elaborate on why they're poisonous?

Which government?

Note, though, the prevalence of specifically traditional Catholics. Traditionalists tend to reject in whole or part modern Catholicism's ecumenical angles, and embrace the black and white they perceive Catholicism used to have. It's a curious mixture of using one's own judgement to decide what of the past are worth following, and a steady belief in doing and believing things of the past, whether you understand the reasoning or not.

Not discussed: hot water in houses increases humidity. In modern well sealed houses, that can result in unfortunate mold growth.

But it is a long principle of academia to avoid being scooped by putting out priority-proving work. Consider US patents; or, further back, I read here yesterday that Galileo published anagrams of his results and Kepler took great delight in reverse-engineering them, accidentally finding other true facts other than Galileo's intended discovery.

Why?

If a test is supposed to measure your mastery of material relative to others', and point out your areas of potential improvement, a test with a full range of scores from 0 to 100% seems most effective. A test with a range of 0-40 is, agreed, less effective; but still better than a range of 80-100: an overly hard test merely points out that everyone has room for improvement.

Personally my experience is opposite: I've always found success in expanding quickly and throwing up defense towers and later fortresses, thereby draining the enemy's strength when they launch a poorly-considered attack. To me, the game seems strongly favoring defensive strategies, and I'm fascinated to find someone who describes attacking early as key.

Fogbugz going pay-only with little notice was discussed previously at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32874311.

A preposterous business practice, and incredibly frustrating. I don't know what can be done about companies acting poorly in this way, though.

How do monetary donations translate into votes? Whether I give a candidate $1 or $1million, I still get only one vote; the only merit of donating money is to help my candidate make their views better known to more people, each of whom can now make a better-informed decision.

There are many cases of well funded candidates (be they self-funded or funded by small donors) failing to win elections; e.g. Michael Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders on the national stage. Despite tremendous advertising, these candidates were deemed inferior by enough voters to lose.

As a MIT alum, 'worked hard' understates the difficulty of that many classes. There are a few people per class who do such incredible feats, and it's entirely reasonable to believe Keith Yost is one of them.

It absolutely has been cited as evidence by my moon-landing-denying friends. "It's a struggle now, yet they claim they're using the same technology as they used back then when the field was young? Seems unlikely."

Indeed,for basically this reason the book was a large influence in my conversion to Catholicism, viewing it as more able to keep knowledge preserved than the Reformed Protestantism of my upbringing.

Among the traditional FAANG, Facebook is the most remote friendly of them, with a large proportion of the company being fulltime remote.

And let me tell you, I buy a case every year and they are the sweetest, most delicious onions I've ever had the pleasure of acquisitioning. Not only is the author a good salesperson, they also do a wonderful job of making their customers thrilled and excited to be repeat customers.

Verily Serif Mono (plus a few modifications). I find serif fonts much easier to read, and this one is the most non-monospace-like font I've ever found. (I've modified it to have a visually heavier semicolon and a visually lighter underscore, so my code is easier to read.)

Have you tried a concierge medicine service? While I agree that health-insurance-based providers have a lot of service problems, concierge medicine services seem to have better experiences since they're entirely choice-based.

One Charles de Fleury catalogued pieces of the true cross in the 1800s and found them to sum to 2% of a plausibly sized cross, not the oft-repeated claim that they add up to a large ship, or a nice house: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Cross#Dispersal_of_relics paragraph 6. While perhaps biased, it does seem plausible that a cataloguing of such claimed relics today would add up to a similar total volume.

I'm proud that my employer has a specific program to help folks who have taken a break in their careers rejoin the workforce. While we are currently mostly only hiring production engineers, the author and others in this situation should check out Meta's return-to-work program: https://www.metacareers.com/facebook-life/return-to-work/

Not all Catholics: the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation (kolbecenter.org) attempts to convince others that Catholics ought believe in young earth creationism. (To be precise, they advocate that the church never said one could believe in evolution, rather that evolution could be studied to try to reconcile against traditional understandings of creation, which many took as license to believe in evolution).

Even the average Catholic is required to believe that all humans are descended from a literal first man (Humani Generis, p. 37).

I would posit that someone believing in YEC is strongly correlated to their willingness to accept and embrace other unpopular and/or hard tenets of their religion. There are, for instance, plenty of Catholics who believe in evolution, but most of those do not go beyond what Catholicism requires in the way of fasting or sexuality. Thus raising the question 'what makes someone a religious person?'...

I want to reiterate this: I live literally three hours from any Meta office, I have never heard anyone encourage me to go to an office, and my team even has no three people in the same state. There's certainly the freedom to live near and go to the office if you need that work-life separation, but it's a freedom. And I really admire our senior leadership working to spend more time geographically distributed and remote themselves, to show their commitment to make Facebook treat geographically diverse, remote employees with equality.

I too interviewed at Google for a remote position; we got through team matching, and I'd found a great new potential manager, before one of his bosses nixed the idea of me being permanently remote. My recruiter ended up finding me another team match under a different director where I could be permanently remote, but the delay and difficulty was a major factor in me going to Facebook, which has a strong commitment to remote work.

Just to be clear, I really loved my Google recruiters -- they were very forthright and open with me during the whole process, and the Facebook recruiter was honest too. Great recruiting experiences. They worked really hard to move fast, and I think I went from initial phone screen to offer at FB within two weeks, and from phone screen to team matching at Google within three.

You and me both. Though, the older housing inventory often is 900-1200 sqft, which is a very suitable size for a starter home, but smaller than the modern homes...

There are both maintainers and lists listed in MAINTAINERS (L: entries) -- did you Cc the mailing list? It might be good to bump the mailing list email if it's been several weeks, asking if there's more information you could provide.

Other ancient musicians: I have always been impressed by Sir Christopher Lee, who released his final metal album at age 91, and whose Christmas single Jingle Hell was a top-20 hit that year. But, as far as I know, he was not a child prodigy, having recorded his first at age 64. It inspires me that he added that new spice to his life at such a revered age, when so many are set in their ways at that age.

Company vax mandate was enough of a shove to go interview (after 8.5 years with the same team since graduating). By the time my exemption was approved, I had offers for more money, and ended up taking one at a MANGA company for 225% of prior TC.

The point of a leetcode style question is to test someones' ability to explain and adapt a tricky problem on the fly. Given most of a software engineer's day to day is about communication and adapting existing solutions to related problems, leetcode problems are a very powerful tool for analyzing candidates.

Meta usually doesn't even bother finding you a team before hiring you, at least at L5 (senior) level... they hire based on a standardized interview process, you start with a 6 week bootcamp to get familiar with their systems, and then you have two weeks to find a team. There are a few cases where you're hired for a specific team and skip the 2 week team-matching period, but this is the general pattern.

You're citing known COVID deaths, I think, while the epidemiologist points out in the article that a better metric is excess mortality:

>Sweden had one of the lower excess mortality levels in Europe

Presumably, excess mortality includes the effects of overloaded hospitals, delayed medical care, lockdown-related depression, and undiagnosed COVID, which are hard to measure any other way, and which seem logically much higher under lockdown.
