Ironically Workday is the worst product to use as a job seeker to upload your resume.

As an employee, too.

It was always there. Just don't train the model with data that you don't like.

Then you can’t make it targeted.

It can't fall out of favor if it was never really in favor to begin with. GraphQL was a quite brief hype then a big technical debt.

Interesting take considering graphql adoption is growing and generally in favor at my company.

You can even do neat things like having the revalidate fetch tell your backend “I served this object out of cache 1100 times since last fetch, maybe consider putting a few extra cpu cycles into the compression on this one”

That seems verbose

Is this VM somehow related to Lynx (their cross platform dev tooling?)

RexM commented on Blue whale skeleton at New Bedford museum still oozing oil   wpri.com/news/street-stor... · Posted by u/geox

Ok I'm going to come out and say it because I think multiple people in this thread have hinted at the same confusion: What bloody kind of oil are we talking about here? Whale oil, that somehow was captured in the bones? Petroleum oil from the whale's encounter with the tanker? They basically buried the lede on this story and nowhere appear to explain why this particular whale is dripping some kind of "oil" that seemingly other museum example don't experience. So - anyone got any insight here?

From the article:

> Rocha explained that KOBO’s bone marrow is actually “full of oil,” even though the whale has been dead for more than two decades.

> “It’s seeping out through the pores of the bones,” Rocha said. “The outer edges of the bone are a little more porous than human bones and [gravity is] just pulling the oil out.”

> I won’t fall into the trap of trying to define Monads in this post. Instead, let’s talk about monadic-style APIs – that is, APIs that allow you to do a bunch of things one after another, with the ability to use the result of a previous computation in the next computation, and also allows some logic to happen between steps.

Am I crazy, or did he just give a really good definition of monads in programming? I think that it benefits by not letting itself get bogged down in Category Theory nomenclature which doesn't actually matter when programming.

I think you just fell into the trap.
RexM commented on 20% more powerful perovskite solar panels enter commercial use   oxfordpv.com/news/20-more... · Posted by u/akamaka
CapitalistCartr · a year ago
Fixed installations don't need more efficiency. We have plenty of room as is. The price per watt is more relevant and even that has become trivial, as installation costs trump panel cost. We mostly need more panels installed everywhere.
RexM · a year ago
If the panels are 20% more efficient, wouldn't you need to install 20% less of them?

When you sit down at the dinner table, do you have your own fork or share one with the guests?

Exact same logic applies.

RexM · a year ago
Because you don’t want to share germs with other users of the browser? The logic makes no sense and I honestly can’t tell if you’re joking.

I hate that with passion. Though I don't know the technical reason behind this workflow.

I think it’s so it can look at the login method for the account and act accordingly.

If the user is configured to use SSO it can redirect to the identity provider. If it’s password auth it can ask for the password, etc.
