Both female and male patients had a lower patient mortality when treated by female physicians; however, the benefit of receiving care from female physicians was larger for female patients than for male patients.

Of note, the study was conducted on 800k senior citizens.

The findings may not be generalizable to younger populations.

Again, you’re putting words in my mouth. I’m done engaging with you as I don’t think you’re conversing in good faith.

No one said anything is beneath senior employees.

It’s a lost opportunity when you, a staff engineer, spend your time doing something that a junior engineer could do – instead of doing a task a junior engineer can’t do.

It’s faulty, short-sighted logic though. If every company trained juniors, only for them to jump ship in two years, there’d be a pool of trained juniors to hire from. Yes you wouldn’t get your investment out of that particular person, but you’d be hiring someone else’s investment.

Beyond that, there’s work that is better suited to more junior employees because it’s literally a waste of the senior employees’ skills.

Too many industries are shitting on entry level employees now… They’re easy targets for layoffs and easy targets for AI, apparently. Now they’re already complaining about the lack of quality talent.

The Great Resignation is effectively over. We’re now in the Great Talent Stagnation, where employers’ biggest concern is the lack of qualified applicants

If you don’t invest in the next set of entry-level employees, you won’t have the next set of qualified employees.

The release notes mention why they request each one.

Strong names are great, but (sometimes) mentioning the type of variable in the name is redundant.

“Monday”.length is working JavaScript and does equal 6. No print command afaik though.

Appreciate you giving credit where credit is due. It is 100% corporate greed.

Kotaku’s editor-in-chief has resigned

Thanks for your comment. I usually travel alone and was like “why would anyone subject themselves to AirBNB.” I appreciate the context and perspective.

Because Sweet Baby Inc is known for forcing a narrative and tokens into the writing, for the sake of diversity on the cost of quality of the story and the characters.

Where is the proof of this beyond speculation? I can’t think of a mechanism through which a consultant can force anything. Their contracts would undoubtedly have an NDA that would prevent them from sharing which of their recommendations the client acted on or not.

While I agree with you that shoes are a basic necessities, I bet there are a bunch of families that can afford $60 shoes for their kids but not $600 shoes. This kid is a genetic outlier and that makes this one of those situations where a community can come together to help someone with a unique problem. His community donated $12k before Shaq got involved, so Shaq’s charity is just icing on the cake. Also worth noting that Shaq has done work to make shoes more affordable for all people but it’s an unreasonable expectation for him to stock every Walmart with Size 26 shoes.

Dude also used a LLM to generate descriptions for the packages he’s serving from his package manager. And of course, it got them wrong, creating a headache for the actual package maintainers

I program – yet I’ve been asked to fix a camera and Apple Maps.

They mean jank:

jan·ky adjective, informal adjective: jank

of extremely poor or unreliable quality.
"the software is pretty janky"

The things that make me a good programmer:

1. I read error messages
2. I put those errors in Google
3. I read the results that come up

Even among my peers, that gives me a leg up apparently.

Also, does the point of creating a game have to be making the “most” money? Isn’t it enough to make something awesome and a profit?

While we resourced mozilla.social heavily to pursue this ambitious idea,

How many people do you need to administer a Mastodon instance? I’m pretty sure infosec.exchange is like one dude.

The Lock In / Head On and Dispatcher series from Scalzi are pretty good.

The entire Murderbot Diaries series.

The first Hell Divers book was good (I haven’t read the rest yet)

I’m glad I worked at a startup without benefits while I still had coverage from my parents. I’m also glad I realized I prefer medium-sized companies before I lost that coverage.

I regret the mentality that kept me at shitty jobs for five years. Being afraid the grass wouldn’t be greener left me in a cycle of getting mad enough to polish my resume and send it out, but then never really following through.
