Nearly every market worldwide was dropping in 2020 due to the pandemic. IIRC, the drops in 2022 correlated with federal interest rate hikes and other federal policies designed to help ease inflation, with the expectation that markets would

> If you have 95% female applicants for a position I would expect that roughly 95% of hires are going to be female and vice versa. I would disagree for the most part. As mentioned above, there are roles where you'll see gender bias

> These are not good assumptions. 80% of pediatricians are women. Why would a hospital expect to hire 50% male pediatricians when only 20% of pediatricians are men? If you saw a hospital that had 50% male pediatricians, that means they&#

My company's DEI program effectively does this. The main tenets are: - Cast a wide recruiting net to attract a diverse candidate pool - Don't collect demographic data on applications - Separate the recruiting / interview proc

Definitely sounds like a bad PM experience, especially with the repeated insistence about handing control of the company over to the PM. Maybe I just have good experiences with PMs? At my company they're there to figure out what custom

Anecdotally as someone with ADHD, one of my favorite features in Jetbrains IDEs is that I can double click on the tab / filename to hide everything irrelevant to what I'm looking at, and repeat to bring it all back when needed in

This isn't anti-vaccine propaganda. This is a real issue that specifically affects cats, and is extremely well documented. In addition, this paper investigates alternative injection sites that reduce occurence while still providing the

Anecdotally, my wife was diagnosed in the US with sleep apnea about 2 years ago. This included multiple GP visits to even get an at-home sleep study that came up negative, us having to purchase an additional at-home sleep study out of pocke

Also worth noting that many of those improvements were originally made only for 4.x, but some of the contributors backported them back to 3.x. It wasn't like 3.x only got minor updates while the majority of focus was on 4.x.

In 2020, John F. Ring was the chairman, joined by William Emanuel and Marvin Kaplan. All Republicans, save for lone dissenter Lauren McFerran. McFerran is now the chairman, and Kaplan is still on the board. Ring and Emmanuel were replaced b

From a union supporter who's spent some time reading about anti-union sentiment here, I've found it generally boils down to a few things: 1) A large portion of users on this site are entrepreneurs or in higher-level tech. For the

It's been a while since I've looked at the ins-and-outs of the immune system, but doesn't this basically not hold up to scrutiny? Again, correct me if I'm wrong: A) The general method of action of the vaccines is that th

This was one of the larger of many reasons I left my previous company, which was a holding company that owned several products with similar audiences and feature sets. They bought a new product at the beginning of the pandemic that was deem

Godot ~3.2+ has support for a slightly older version of C# via Mono, I think it's the equivalent of .NET 4.8. IIRC (and this could be wrong / have changed since I last looked into it) the idea was to re-work this in Godot 4 to pro

Anecdotally, there's something about Godot's structure that just "clicks" better for me. It's odd because they seem pretty similar on the surface (nested scene graph, nodes with scripts that have hooks, etc), so it&

I have to agree with this. I moved off Windows into Linux as a daily driver mainly due to issues with docker support (pre WSL2, but even that had filesystem issues the last time I tried to used it). I recently accepted a new position that p

Had something similar happen with low-level components in a PHP application I inherited repeatedly calling trim() and/or str_pad() on values that had already been processed. Refactoring those out led to a 10-15% performance boost in ou

I did this for a cheap dust filter when demoing a ~7 cu ft concrete shower pan in my house. Pretty incredible how much material it pulled out of the air; I ended up running through 3-4 filters total throughout the whole process.

Right, in the context of PHP it makes sense, as bool would imply you might need to handle a truthy value when in reality the return type of several built-in functions is result|false. Nullable types generally work well, unless you're y
