My own key variable, as it turns out, is "time between deciding to lift and grasping weight". Which means that keeping an adjustable dumbbell by my bed and using it a few times a week is close to optimal. While having the gym is nice for the additional equipment, this plan means that I don't have to think about making time for the gym since I can just do some more around bedtime or wakeup. Load, reps and sets are far less important than the factor of being able to add more volume whenever I want.

And that does reflect lifestyle goals - I am not going for a competition physique, and the gym isn't my social club. I am just aiming for a little bit of progress year over year, and scientifically optimal muscle growth would actually get in the way of other plans. I was in the habit of tracking it all pre-pandemic, but now I just do Ali counts - "I only start counting when it starts hurting."
Is this steady work or do you have to keep looking for the next gig?

That seems awesome, thanks for sharing! What an awesome approach.
In the US nearly 30 percent of trips are a mile or shorter, 40 percent are two miles or shorter and 50 percent are three miles or shorter.[0]

These distances can be easily covered on foot or bike with minimal change in infrastructure.

The Washington Consensus cast a long shadow. With regard to high finance, international politics and military activity the parties are effectively the same (though the GOP may have closer ties to OPEC). Most American voters feel very strongly about these issues.
Just as another datapoint, I used to keep a couple of virtual machines at Linode.

After seeing how they acted after their security breaches, I left for DigitalOcean. I've also recommended DO over Linode to other people for that reason.

I should note it wasn't the fact they had a security incident, that happens. It was the way they 'communicated' it.
That’s not true. I live in a place where people actually believe it. If you are not aware of the lack of efficacy of something, it’s not exactly a fraud.
As someone who used to live in the Phoenix climate, and now lives in one of the furthest north cities in the US:

The middle of winter here is much more 'moon-like' than the middle of summer ever was in Phoenix. I basically have to don a space suit to go out in below 0 weather!
Magnus Carlson says this about chess. Paraphrasing, there are probably smarter people at him, but they’re less likely to be as obsessed with chess and are more likely to seek novelty elsewhere.

It’s not about being a “hater” in what world will this company be able to design better server chips than their much better financed competitors? Even Apple has a better chance of designing high performance desktop chips if they decide to move Macs to ARM and neither Amazon nor Google can be discounted. They both have a desire to produce better server chips in house for their own use. Come back in a year when this company is either acquired by one of the big tech companies or they go out of business.
I had ordered Oysters in Ireland in November. I realized that I might be prone to illness by eating them (every foreign trip has led to some illness for me) but the month 'r' strategy softened me up a bit but was worried that it was a grey zone time period from the warm summer dangers. I learned a lot about Irish oyster farming.

I was sick the next week back in the states lol - a stomach bug.
Hey there, author here - good point, I’ll add Akamai! Long story short: standard gzip results, in line with nginx / apache / gzip command-line.
>> But what about creativity? What about drive and desire? What about belief and the will to fail on the road to success? What about collective intelligence and the need to peer up in efforts? What about emotional intelligence?

All this resulted from evolutionary processes. Any approximation of AI which will deal with other agents will develop something like that and more in order to be competitive, collaborate and survive.

Do you have kids? The oceanic awesomeness of this book is no match for thhe boundless optimism and enthusiasm of my two-year old daughter or any child for that matter. I'm all for being a realist, but with children it pays off in spades to fill them up with hope, optimism, and fearlessness.
I was with him until he started talking about how the "greatest boon" to airline security had been "a lock on the door and a gun in the cockpit".

Firstly, to my knowledge, nobody has attempted to storm the cockpit since 9/11, so the locks, though a good idea, haven't actually done anything. And the guns -- projectile weapons not being the best idea when travelling in a pressurized metal capsule anyway -- have certainly never been fired.

The actual improvement in airline security has been greater vigilance on the part of passengers, who stopped both the shoe bomber and the underwear bomber, and better intelligence operations in the middle east, which got us the tip-off about the toner cartridge bomb.
I don't think so—that's why you're out looking for someone with domain knowledge. For me, I really want to work in the food/restaurant space but I've never owned/managed one. So I found people who do.

Scratch an itch.

Maybe it's something that nobody else is doing or a tool that you use but think could be better or a way to improve the operation of a suite of tools that could work better together. Maybe it's a group that you're a part of that needs a web site/service for something or a better way to explore their data or automate a tedious process.

It has to be something you're interested in otherwise you won't be psyched to do it.

But ideas are a dime-a-dozen - you want to make it real. I'm sure everyone here has orders of magnitude more never-done ideas, started-and-stopped ideas than out-in-the-world ideas. But generating and playing with those ideas, even if they come to nothing, are part of the means to getting something done.

Take small steps and keep taking small steps. Even with 15-30 minutes a day, you can do something (write a function, write a page, tweak the database). Eventually, though it doesn't seem so along the way, you'll get some place.

I think this is in some ways similar to reddit. While there are some great threads from time-to-time, it is a way for people to quickly vent/amuse themselves.
This assumes talent is geographically homogeneous. IMHO, Talent in top cities in the US is better than the one in the rest of the countries, and so it goes for other countries.

For top US firms, it may well be that there is a better pool for top talent, but not THAT much better. I believe it would be possible to do inferences from # of non-US citizen in FAANGs.

Its not really a ripoff as C# and Delphi is designed by the same person.
Games like EU4 are more process oriented than object oriented, actually. There is no black-box DL model, just a great many low-medium complexity processes that chain into a large story.

These processes can almost always be reverse engineered, and they are actually quite understandable and readable.

Unless there is something I'm missing with his process/object distinction, admittedly I don't think I've parsed it with a great deal of clarity.

Yes except when given a std::thread you don't know whether it will join in the destructor whereas with jthread you do.

I personally don't know how it helps. But I'm sure the proposals had some reasoning.
Sony sold me a PS3 and then disabled a piece of it. The legal system did absolutely nothing. If Sony and I ever settle up, it can't be through the legal system because the legal system declined to get involved.

The change won’t be for free (even though it probably in the end will save us all a lot of money), and unfortunately, everything that cost money will hit the poor hardest. But that is a problem that is solved with progressive taxes and redistribution, not something that should stop us from saving the environment.
So IndieGogo works by pocketing the interest rather than you. Not a bad business model.
Actually it's my understanding that they are all essentially the same chip cut from the same dye. What differentiates the chips with the higher clock speed from hose with the lower speeds is that they heat up less quickly during testing and were therefore able to be clocked higher for sale.
> Why is it so hard to find a job listing that fits this description?

Are you looking for a job listing, or for a job? Perhaps try to proactively contact companies you think could benefit from hiring you.

> It seems that everyone wants years of work experience, regardless of how good you are.

You can treat the years of work experience on a job listing however you want. You can think of it as an indication of the experience level they're seeking. If they ask for N years of experience in XYZ tech, and you are better at XYZ than most people who have N years of experience, then (i) apply, (ii) find a way to show how good you are.

For (ii), this should be easy if XYZ=Android, as the software you have worked on (for previous employers or on your own) is something they can run on their own phone. If it can run on a phone then it doesn't need some huge deployment effort or special build environment for them to try.
Airline economics are a bit complicated. What exactly constitutes "below costs"? Let's say I have a plane flying from A->B that is typically 90% full, and a plane flying from B->C that is typically 90% full. You want to get from A to C. The cost on my end for doing this is already a sunk cost - I can carry you for a very small marginal cost. If someone else is willing to do it for $200, I'll do it for $190 (Hell - I'm willing to go very cheap - maybe even $50), because getting something for those seats is better than getting nothing.

What I don't want to do is to let someone else's fare on route A->C cause me to lower the price for people who want to fly from A->B (whose alternative is to pay $250).
It's cool to see people thinking about this stuff.
Well, you don't need the JVM and any dependencies it pulls. That's also worth something in the era of "cloud" services. Less to install. Less to update. Ideally you only need to update the deployed application. Which in case of Go is that one binary.

Another big thing is that same app written in Go just takes (significantly) less RAM than when written in Java. Go has arrays (and slices) of structs, not just struct pointers (in Java-speak: object references). This also dramatically reduces short lived garbage. Additionally Golang strings consume less memory, as they are UTF-8 by default in memory. In Java, you can start JVM with -XX:+UseCompressedStrings option, but that adds branches and still falls back to UTF-16 when string contains non-ascii characters.
Actually the insistence that this is the only telling of the story and how often the author says "the only thing more unbelievable is how true it is!" makes me question the accuracy of the book. I know it's an advertisement dressed up as a news piece, but it's just very suspicious-sounding.
Hell, let's all use Kelvins.

It's only different in that, unless you're contracting, they're fairly uncommon.

Meetings and code reviews happen every day (or at least a few times a month), so you're well versed in their protocol.

Make yourself well versed in the protocol of interviews and they won't be any more stressful than any other type of meeting.

I find its helpful to think of people in a similar situation: door to door salesmen (possibly they're more disadvantaged, than you will be in an interview, I mean you know you've got the skill set or you wouldn't be there, they might get turned away just for being salesmen). Now a door to door salesman doesn't get terribly nervous selling something at the door of their house. Why? Well they do it hundreds of times a day, and before that the practice their marketing spiel, and techniques for getting the customer on side.

Practice questions, practice those body language techniques, practice telling jokes, and generally getting the interviewer to open up. When you do into do the real thing it won't be a big deal at all because you've practically done hundreds of them.
So, are you saying when I diff I am looking at textual representations of the graphs?

Which is fine, that is what I'd expect. It's how I'd implement it. But isn't that a huge clue about the fundamental weakness of graphical representation - as soon as you try to do anything nontrivial it's back to text. And back to text for a very good reason, not because the right git plugin hasn't been written yet.
Be careful of honey cut with corn syrup. It's sadly more common than it should be. This does not have a super long shelf life. To me it looks like it separates out and then eventually spoils.

In restaurants the tags usually go straight to the office. In a butcher shop I handled all of the seafood and we kept a little plastic filing box with the tags in a folder by month. I think there is some rule about keeping them 30 days or so after the stop of sale. We were always able to provide the tags easily because health inspectors check them. I told customers about the tags when they asked about the safety of eating oysters. I don’t remember ever being asked for them by a customer but once I turned away a box of either oysters or mussels from a supplier whose tag had fallen off.

Personally I would respect a customer who asks to see the tags once to see if the place is compliant. It’s like when a customer corrects someone who asks if the sushi-grade fish is “fresh” or “never frozen” (being frozen at extreme temperature is what makes it legally sushi-grade and the equipped ships are often at sea for months, so “fresh” is just a buzzword). It’s encouraging when consumers know the product.

What delicate wording. If the subjects are white, such things are dubbed racist conspiracy theories, anecdotal evidence, and xenophobia.
I’ve really enjoyed Doctorow’s books. My WiFi ssid is parasiteNet.

However, he seems a bit too bullshitty nowadays. While I agree with him on OSS/CreativeCommons/etc he seems to be arguing with no one as copyright maximalists have different points.

Also his recent Walkaway novel has a long couple of pages about meritocracy is a myth and a tool of the man and it’s all about random access, etc.
In the early days of Rust 1.0 the `Error` trait was rather cubersome (error messages needed a static lifetime). That is what caused people to reach for crates like quick-error and error-chain. But then the `Error` trait got extended and the old methods (description and cause) got deprecated and replaced with default implementations. It is much nicer now :-)

Talk to BrainTree about becoming a "3rd party payment aggregator" (that's the official term for accepting payments and then distributing them). You can get a merchant account that permits this, although the requirements are a little stricter and some money may be held in escrow.

We do this at nextproof.com. We take payments and then transfer $ to the business via ACH once their balance exceeds $50.
In what way is homeschooling a worse option? As a Jehovah's Witness I homeschooled and was able to spend my early life learning not only the basic high school education but also how to code. I was eligible to enroll for free at a local community college at age 16, and have received a straight 4.0 GPA ever since. I feel that homeschooling did me far more good than public or private school could have.

In my time going to college I have not felt that "rational, liberal thought" is in contrast to any perceived "dogma" that I have been taught as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Also remember that the chart statistics only use income as a measure of comparison. This is fairly meaningless because lower income does not necessarily mean a worse living condition or less happiness.
I was in China during the initial lockdown that started in late January/early February. The instructions from the government were clear from day one: stay home as much as possible, wear a mask when you go out, wash your hands when you get home, open your windows and keep your place well-ventilated. All that advice holds true today, just as it held true for SARS, MERS and other similar viruses.

I feel like the reporting from the WHO was deliberately sub-par for political reasons. For example the vacillating on masks - everyone knew that masks helped, but the WHO tried to be on the fence about it because some countries were experiencing shortages. Another example of the WHO playing politics was when they neglected to publish the advice not to trust folk remedies, since that would have gone against a Chinese government campaign to try softly promote TCM, perhaps as a form of psychological comfort to the hundreds of millions stuck in lockdown.

Living through corona has helped me to realize that successful public health policy isn't just about giving everyone the raw facts, it's also about managing people's morale and trying to influence their behavior through propaganda. I think the WHO tried to do this, but it wasn't universally successful.
Considering that censorship maybe helps with the reduction of the lies, it does currently a very poor job. 60minutes posted their totally fabricated video of Schiff, on Twitter and Youtube. It is well on air on both platforms, with hundreds of thousands of views, and their account is not suspended. This is clearly illegal, and Peter filed lawsuit for defamation against the company. However before a judgement of the law is done nothing is going on. How about waiting for the judges to look at the Trump situation and afterwards we will see? In case Twitter fact checkers work as judges, that's seriously dystopian.

Although I do agree, self-hosting Mastodon is not an easy job (I'm speaking from the perspective of a seasoned DevOps engineer). In addition, domain registrars and hosting companies can always shut you down. IPSF seems like the best direction of our efforts.

Bitfinex and Tether have till the 15th of January to submit documents to the New York state attorney general about their financial relationship. The shortfall of $850m was allegedly printed by Tether and given to Bitfinex to cover up the losses Crypto Capital created. It is speculated Bitfinex and Tether can't submit any documents without revealing their cover-up. This will result in the conclusion that Tether isn't backed 1:1 by USD by a lot of investors and will results in more investigation by the attorney general. Tether is unaudited at the moment, meaning no one checked the bankroll of Tether if there really is $23b USD there.

Well, then the statement 'functions many only recurse up to some limit' applies to Common Lisp as specified but not to this implementation of it. This isn't particularly unusual, since language implementations often have capabilities which aren't part of the specifications (see the many extensions to C, for example. e.g. in standard C you can't assume that type punning using a union will be defined, but almost all implementations explicitly allow for it). These are differences in the semantics of the language (namely in what is and isn't allowed), not just optimisations.

Cboe ended their bitcoin futures. As such there’s no way to bet on a bitcoin collapse that I know of, in a less risky options-like way.

Just wanted to come here to agree. I blacklisted pinterest (and some other garbage content with forced registration for the purpose of data collection, like Quora) long time ago using a browser extension. It is particularly annoying when searching for images. I never clicked on pinterest either and wonder why Google is still showing me these results.

I wish they would natively allow blacklisting specific domains.
