Unless one does this every day, the metabolism adapts and one now does not need to eat more (or significantly less "more").

The correlation is not that simple as you make it sound.

Edit: To anticipate your next answer: If you run more on top of that, yes, you have to add additional calories somehow and the process starts again. The point is that a car does not have this mechanism at all so it does not make that much sense to compare them like equals.
If you believe you'll need RAM, why not max out the RAM in the beginning?

A decade ago, you wanted to upgrade RAM because standard RAM sizes were growing and RAM was rapidly getting cheaper. Nowadays, if a device needs e.g. 16gb ram, then that same device category needed 16gb ram a few years ago and could have been bought back then with that RAM.

Hey at least my goofy words are googleable. "Translerion", that's some top-shelf secret voodoo right there. We're probably all on a very exclusive and soon-to-be very unfortunate list, now.
Optimism means you assume a good outcome. Pessimism means you generally perceive risk as more likely. Anger is a reaction to a potential threat; you already see risk and think you can change it. Happiness is a state of contentment.

So.... Yeah, if you're happy, you generally perceive low risk and don't see a need to be defensive or change anything. But we don't live in the jungle. We don't have to be constantly on guard, because we are on top of the food chain, and generally speaking we don't need to compete to survive or even thrive.

So the premise that being angry will make you live longer is at best misguided. If anything, being angry will more likely help you assume a defensive posture; not many people want to attack someone who looks like they will attack back. But again, this assumes your livelihood depends on fending off attacks, or beating other people. Not all people live those kind of lives.

Finally, things like heart attack are probably more related to genetics and diet than how angry you are. But being angry also clouds your judgment, meaning you're less likely to take advice, like your doctor telling you to lay off the doughnuts and red meat.

EchoLisp
I stumbled upon EchoLisp [1] on rosettacode.org, and I couldn't find out much about who created it, and if it is available for download or just hosted via the site only.

A lot of Rosetta Code tasks have been completed in it already.

It has great documents and examples with some interesting graphics and a lot of math.

we won't disclose this vulnerability because we
don't have a patch, even though we know there's an
exploit available.

This is some 1984 shit. It's a horrible policy. While yes it'll make it easier for bad actors to write exploits, it'll also allow for sys-admins to possibly mitigate those exploits, or add extra logging to make it easier to catch exploits.

Not admitting your software has flaws until you fix them is beyond irresponsible.
It makes some sense as judge as arbiter and interpreter of law, no? If a judge were to say "You should argue this" then the expectation that he or she would be predisposed to finding that a valid claim would be pretty apparent.

I can see examples where this would lead to slippery slopes in both the defendant's and plaintiff's favors.
First off, Glassdoor is not objective. Employers can "object" to reviews that are derogatory and Glassdoor has so many "requirements" for reviews and a fear of getting sued that they just remove the bad ones on the rationalization that the negative review is not supportable, rather than deal with the irate HR department. Remember who pays Glassdoor. It's the companies, not the ex-emplyoees. I have experienced HR departments who actively groom the reviews there to ensure nothing too bad sticks around.

Amazon is an okay to great place to work if you have low standards and low self respect/esteem. Many engineers are this way without realizing it even. (Because we can see all the flaws in ourselves and our systems and don't realize that this isn't objective, so when we're mistreated we figure it's more legitimate than it is.)

Of the people at amazon who were happy there when I was there, it was mostly people with low requiremetns- they figured if they got their paycheck every month they were happy. They weren't bothered by their bosses abusing them verbally, or the other nonsense that others have talked about.

Except that the C standard explicitly makes no distinction between explicit and implicit undefined behavior.

If a "shall" or "shall not" requirement that appears outside
of a constraint or runtime constraint is violated, the behavior
is undefined. Undefined behavior is otherwise indicated in this
International Standard by the words "undefined behavior" or by
the omission of any explicit definition of behavior. There is
no difference in emphasis among these three; they all describe
"behavior that is undefined".

You're right, as a non-American he'd just get sent to Gitmo where he faces indefinite detention without any recourse, without any legal rights or constitutionally required due process, and endless torture+interrogations for the rest of his life.

In your contrived example, it's missing some things.

For John to be authentic, then he would need to first suss out why he feels so bothered by seeing John being addicted to playing Overwatch.

Meaning, there is something that John is unaware of his own psyche that lead to feeling irritated by Jack's addiction. Being unaware of that means he might be _seen_ as transparent or authentic or honest -- you certainly did -- but he's not actually in integrity.

Also, what you described with Steve is called rapport in NLP, or ethos in rhetorics. It's not people-pleasing, so much as matching impedance and getting inside someone else's space. People-pleasers tend to be too self-absorbed to be able to fully enter someone else's mindspace and establish rapport. Unless that person is on the psychopathy spectrum.

I have. But TOTP is a bit tricky: A generated password isn't single use by design (as it's valid for 30 second window). So you'd have to make sure a single password can be only used once on the server side. Additionally the default 6 digit code seems a bit weak. It seems that 6 digits is fixed in Google Authenticator at the moment: https://github.com/google/google-authenticator/wiki/Key-Uri-....

HOTP might also be possible, but then you also have to store state (the counter) on the server side. Additionally that also seems to be limited to 6 digits in Google Authenticator.

My current approach is: Don't exhaust the tokens before you return from vacation :-)
You could live by those words, but I don't recommend it.

I'm generally very honest about what I think and feel. I never lie. It certainly hasn't earned me many friends.

In contrast, I have a colleague who is constantly cheerful and friendly. Even when she's secretly having a terrible day and even when she doesn't particularly like you. The result is that everyone in the office likes her and she has a very rich/happy private life too. Even if her day starts off poorly, the positivity she receives back from people turns it around.

The worst part about trite articles like this is that they provide literally no evidence for their feel-good conclusions. In fact, they seem to contradict actual research which shows that modulating our feelings and smiling (even when we don't want to) can improve happiness. [0]

If you want to be happy, pretend you're happy. Eventually it won't be an illusion.

Back to the subject at hand, seeing the drastic difference in tone only goes to support a hypothesis that Trump himself is constantly at odds with his staff et al.

Great point. We are seeing ongoing consolidation among hospitals and large physician groups. However, patients still deserve to have easy access to their own data. This is largely handled with patient portals that give patients access to some of your data. PatientBank gives you full control of your complete record, including information not necessarily located in your patient portals and information located in separate systems that do not communicate.
John is not being completely honest. As I mentioned elsewhere, John is not honest with himself, being unaware of where the roots of this irritation is.

Not knowing your currently technical niche, industry or passions, this question implies that you think about yourself as a commodity.

Rather, think of yourself as a problem-solver, who has many tools at his/her disposal, (a major) one being writing code.

This allows you to fit yourself into many different molds, rather than just a fixed position as a programmer, much like a factory worker at a manufacturer.

I personally enjoy thinking of myself as a consultant, as it allows me to focus on figuring out solutions to problems I encounter, rather than the tools I have at my toolbox. This is not always natural or easy, but a continued, concerted effort at developing this mindset has paid off for me.
That's interesting. Why do you feel contempt for passive-aggressiveness rooted in low-self esteem? Do you feel you are superior to people who do that? Do you feel that those people are weak of character or resolve?

> it's nice to see more and more code being written that doesn't assume programmers are superhuman beings

I would say that most compilers don't even assume the programmer is human. The root cause of bad errors is that they emanate from the compiler, and are reported from the perspective of the compiler. That's why you get errors like "can't access method undefined of undefined", or the hell that is C++ template errors. Sure, the errors make perfect logical sense from the perspective of a compiler, but they make my human eyes bleed.

My favorite is a single missing semicolon that causes a cascade of unrelated errors, none of which indicate there's a missing semicolon.

grammars, parsers, compilers, and languages as a whole should be designed for humans first. Even if it makes the language implementation a little more complex, human users will benefit greatly and thank you for it.

I feel like this a communication and NLP problem, at least in regards to an address being directions to a given location. Like with a picture, an address such as "Next to Sal's general store" would be enough for most mailmen to find the location 100% of the time. Given it does not stand the test of time, but to my understanding this was the system in Ireland for a long time in small disparate communities. In that particular case the instruction would be something like "$COUNTY, $GRANDMOTHERS_NAME's house" in order to reach her grandson.

I guess it depends on usecase. An Amazon drone can't stop and ask for directions. Interesting problem space though.

They do, but when your "bar raiser" in a programming interview is a non-technical guy whose degree is in criminal justice... he aint exactly raising the bar. Still amazon gets stronger engineers working there than they deserve. I think in large part because they don't have the negative reputation that they justly deserve.
Fair approach. Just a thought. Good point on the 30 second window, would suggest that (without ensuring the server only accepts it once) that someone else could gain access (though it being read-only they'd have limited access).

I'm not familiar with Yubikeys other than that they exist. How're you using them for authentication? Do they not have the potential password reuse issue (seems they include TOTP support among other methods of authentication)?

Also, I'm fairly new to TOTP and was a bit surprised that Google Authenticator didn't allow for longer keys. That seems like it ought to be easy, to this layman, to implement for them.

===EDIT===

Found my answer to the Yubikey question. Read their documentation on how their OTP works. My initial confusion was based on a cursory read through where I saw they supported TOTP, but they have another method that's not time-based. So, yeah, not sure a good solution to the TOTP password reuse problem, but might spend more time looking into using Yubikey for myself.

The US government is enforcing implied consent on all citizens by forcing corporations to have these "backdoors" in place.
I can see now why there are many of these backdoors or issues with the MS Windows. I think these issues exist to provide that backdoor opportunity for our government.

No government will respect your privacy and will always claim ownership over everything you do.

It's a corrupt system and it needs to end. Peacefully.
There seems to be a lot of people saying "ohh people thing flash is bad now, but once upon a time it was really a useful thing."

That time was the 90s and early 2000s. And in that time, I avoided pages with Flash because they were painful. They are still a little painful now.

If Flash was transformative, I think it was that it introduced the kind of bloat and intrusiveness that we now take for granted on the web.
Sadly, no. I've not seen, say, using legacy source code management tools or development lifecycles described as technical debt; I'd not thought about it that way myself, I'd just thought about it as outdated practices. A quick hack or an ugly workaround? Yes - and even those I've rarely seen management allocate time to pay back. Reframing the other issues may help communicate with management on how to make all the process and product better.
Being more client oriented? Not moneywise.
Our friend group has a 'people pleaser' and it's fine, most of the time. However, it has become a nightmare (and nearly destroyed our group) because when there is a person that needs to be kicked out of our group for lying/being manipulating/terrible behavior, this person defends them to the end and treats us like the bad guy.

Passive aggression also accompanies 'people pleaser', because the person generally doesn't ever want to tell you what they really want or feel. It's extremely frustrating to deal with a person that behaves like this.
We're talking about people who directly move in and out of Google or Google contractors, and places which have a immediate and direct conflict of interest with Google. Which inexplicably, almost without other justification, seems to avoid any sort of legal action against it. And this isn't a one-off case of one employee moving around. It's a significant, recurring process.

And in the case of Joshua Wright, long before he revolved his way into an FTC position, he was already receiving money under the table to fabricate "academic studies" supporting Google's antitrust position, which they then used as expert references to their claims. We already have a corrupt individual who's engaged in unethical practices on Google's behalf, which then also moved into a government position where he had an extreme ability to protect Google from government action.

We've long understood that transparency in government in terms of where money changes hands, where people are employed, and similar factors are key in preventing corruption. People may not be the places they work for, but they are representatives of their employers. If this wasn't understood, political donations wouldn't require the disclosure of a donor's employer.

You seem to be suggesting we should dismiss our entire understanding of how corruption occurs, because the evidence points very clearly that corruption is happening between our government and Google. Honest people, unfortunately, are not involved here.

I have worked at Amazon and Microsoft. At Amazon the culture was abusive. At Microsoft I saw arrogance and incompetence and various other irritating things- what you get at any big company. But it's not malicious. Amazon is highly political and set up to be effectively malicious. (The other large companies I've worked for were more like Microsoft.)

The Amazon issue isn't just that they are large. IT's their culture, which is employee hostile.

"p.s. pleasing people also makes you happy, because you develop better relationships."

I'm not so sure about that. Having worked with people who have deep-seated emotional issues, people-pleasing like that creates a fragile edifice. The greater the effort in fulfilling the want without addressing the need, the more fragile the whole situation becomes.
Thank you, thank you a thousand times, for sharing your experiences.
