i suppose the disconnect happening in the replies is that people assume i meant normal in my rent amount. my original comment was meant to compare what an nfl player, with a family i might add, supposedly lives off of in entire year to my, me being a middle class single person, yearly rent (whether that rent is high or low or normal). so sure, he and many may live much cheaper. but cheap enough such that his taxes, utilities, food, family care, general bills, purchases, etc. all still add up to $24,000. i doubt it without heavy caveats to that number he gave.
Well.. what is it doing?

I would love to use Elixir and Phoenix for my next personal projects, but I would not use it at work.

Elixir and Phoenix developers are much more expensive and scarce than Rails ones.

I would only start to use Elixir and Phoenix in my company if we were fully staffed and the rest of developers agreed on putting some extra effort (mostly during their time) to learn the new system.
Elixir hasn't really made its presence felt in the job market yet so it's too early to bet on.

If you think that Microsoft being the largest software company is proof in itself that Gates should be listened to on any subject other than building large businesses or technology related to his expertise, I think you're being intellectually reckless.

Microsoft's impact on the world has been overall negative in my view compared to the likely counterfactual of a world-without-Microsoft, but that's too speculative to get into. It's undeniable that Microsoft got big more on the effectiveness of how it played the game of business within our social/corporate/government/market system than on the quality of the products.

Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Award and Tips to Become an MVP
> Usually, a dev writing a Python 2.7 library will not discriminate between bytes-like buffers and ASCII strings (since the language doesn’t either) which means to have to code review everything str operations and ask yourself if there is a bytes operation implied or is it really a string one.

And...that's exactly why you want static typing. Code review to catch stuff like this is poorly and primitively doing a job a computer can do for you perfectly. Dynamic typing is fine for small projects but when you're wanting to port over all Python 2 code that's ever been written to Python 3 types would have made the task much less daunting.
In this universe I would imagine 24 hour pickup windows being a thing.

Or even just more no-human-needed deposit lockers like Amazon hub.

I definitely understand how this works less well in the current reality. Though you can do local reorganization of this (for example you have deposit lockers for an entire neighborhood in a specific part that is easy to access for everyone, and now the mail delivery takes only 30 minutes or so instead of 6 hours).
I don't think I'd outsource my cooking because I enjoy it. However, I think it makes perfect sense for someone who doesn't like cooking to do so, such as the author. It was certainly an interesting read.

It took me a while to realize that there are things that could be done more cheaply by someone or something else, but add real value to my life in ways other than monetary.

>Can you cook?

I can cook basic meals, and I still do for a few meals per week. Things like scrambled eggs, steak, burgers, and chicken.

>How much time did you you spend arranging a cook and preparing for their arrival?

I think that's one of the main weaknesses because I'm still spending about one hour per visit searching recipes, checking which ingredients I have available, ordering new ingredients from FreshDirect, and making sure the kitchen is ready.

>I would have thought cooking in bulk with simpler recipes would save more time overall than arranging someone to turn up to cook for you unless it was a regular thing or simpler recipes aren't good enough.

A big motivating factor is desserts/snacks. If I wasn't outsourcing it, I wouldn't have the motivation to cook myself desserts. So I'd just end up eating less healthy snacks and not being able to keep up the diet.

You're missing half of the Windows tax. It wasn't just charging for licenses that didn't end up getting used. It was also about forcing OEMs to choose between offering Windows and any other OS. It killed BeOS and had a chilling effect on anyone else building an OS that they intended to charge money for. That left Microsoft's only competition being Apple, who made their own hardware and didn't care about selling Windows machines and open source operating systems, which could never get UI right enough for mass adoption.

So yes, many of those machines sold with Windows pre-installed didn't have another operating system, but that doesn't mean that if Microsoft hadn't broken the law (those contracts they forced on OEMs were illegal) that people would have still chosen to buy those computers with Windows pre-installed. I consider people who were forced to use Windows because of the lack of alternatives killed by Microsoft's illegal business practices to be similarly paying the Windows tax.

Had BeOS gotten any reasonable market share, it would have quickly become a huge threat to Microsoft. It was miles ahead of Windows in terms of quality and some of its features are still, 20 years later, better than we have in current operating systems.
I have to agree with you, but I don't think I've ever had a "good time" on twitter. It's not optimized for conversation, and it doesn't even optimize for thoughtful condensation of ideas; it just optimizes for the quickest brain diarrhea you can squeeze out in 140 characters).
Sure, I get its use as a broadcast platform, but it's not even flattening the world all that much in that regard. The lions share of attention still goes to those who probably need that kind of reach the least (granted, what social sphere is there where that's not really the case?)

Maybe it's just my innate crotchety-ness, but I feel like a lot of people think about Twitter like owning a boat: fun in theory but a big PITA that probably won't be missed except once or twice a year.

Of course, this is all imbued with my own personal gripes and prejudices with social media, so take it as a commiserating vent :)

This is amazing! Solves exactly the problem I have with eating out or ordering regularly: Can't track what you're eating.

This could be great for making my weekly mealprep. One less weekends chore.

A similar corollary is the continued use of TI calculators in school.

But they're still selling lots! Why? They're approved by the examination boards, and have an effective monopoly. (oligopoly if you include HP and Casio, but most schools choose one brand and require all students to fall in line).

The academic market is not remotely capitalist, so even though there are cheaper & better options available that people will use in everyday life, the "official" results will still use the officially-sanctioned products.

This is an ad hominem and quite unfair. Michael Greger states himself that he does not like the term veganism, and he also writes that it was the health benefits of a plant based diet that led him to promote that diet. To call him a "vegan animal welfare crusader" is a bit hyperbolic to say the least.

From Greger's book How Not to Die he writes in the Introduction to Part 2:

> From a nutrition standpoint, the reason I don’t like the terms vegetarian and vegan is that they are only defined by what you don’t eat. When I used to speak on college campuses, I would meet vegans who appeared to be living off french fries and beer. Vegan, technically, but not exactly health promoting. That’s why I prefer the term whole-food, plant-based nutrition. As far as I can discern, the best available balance of evidence suggests that the healthiest diet is one centered on unprocessed plant foods. On a day-today basis, the more whole plant foods and the fewer processed and animal products, the better.

And from the Preface of How Not to Die he writes:

> True, I have biases of my own to rein in. Although my original motivation was health, over the years, I’ve grown into quite the animal lover. Three cats and a dog run our household, and I’ve spent much of my professional life proudly serving the Humane Society of the United States as the charity’s public health director. So, like many people, I care about the welfare of the animals we eat, but first and foremost, I am a physician. My primary duty has always been to care for my patients, to accurately provide the best available balance of evidence.
> The link between meat and...diabetes...is very well established now.

There is a group of Type 2 diabetics in remission who are doing just fine on meat-based and keto-based diets, with no medication. If meat was a causal contributing factor to diabetes, I wouldn't expect to see that. We do eat a lot of leafy greens, it isn't like all-meat-all-the-time. But fresh meat, simply prepared, eaten to the protein macros appropriate for your body, does nothing to exacerbate these already-diagnosed Type 2 patients from going back into Type 2.

A contributing factor to diabetes is surplus calories creating excess body fat. You can do that with meat, vegetables, fruit, and breads. Harder to do with vegetables if you eat the veggies raw; if you eat only leafy greens for vegetables, I'd say it is nearly impossible.

There are vegan/vegetarian Type 2 patients, but I have yet to run across one in remission on no medication, for two years or longer, so they might be rare. It is much harder to get your proteins while carb restricted to manage blood sugar levels, eating only vegetables; I'm sure there are vegetarian Type 2's in remission out there, likely using soy-based products and protein powder to get their protein, it's just not as popular a method of going into remission.

Personally, I switched to preparing meals using as unprocessed as possible foods. If I could eat raw beef (like a tartare), I would; I don't because it is too time-consuming to prepare. This rules out tofu and other soy-based products, and protein powders as well, for me personally. I can manage to build muscle and keep my blood sugar markers in a normal non-diabetic range as long as I keep my daily net carbohydrate intake to 20g or less. If you are familiar with vegetarian diets and can suggest a way for me to switch to a vegetarian approach that observes that, supports about 2500 calories per day, and is made from unprocessed ingredients, then please let me know, thanks.

I guess this is a bet on how often we actually get deliveries.

Personally, I get "useful" mail about once a week. I'm never home when deliveries happen (though I have a delivery box in my apartment entrance, I used to always have to pick it up later). So almost every package I would get delivered would _always_ go from the delivery center to my home, then back again.
Thanks for reading! Yeah, I've appreciated that it gives me more control over what I'm eating without imposing the time commitment that kind of control would usually require.

I've been on keto for a long time. I've always been pressed for time myself and resorted to very expensive food delivery as an alternative (on keto, food delivery - especially in queens - means ordering sub par food in too small portions because the portions include rice or other carbs as filler. then you end up doubling your portion, adding delivery tip...could be a $30 shitty dinner)

I've thought about the home cook route but all the professional ones are absurdly expensive. This is a nice way to do it.

However I recently got a sous vide machine which seems like the answer to my problems. It's extremely hard to screw something up when it's cooked sous vide and it's almost always delicious. It's a worthwhile investment

I think the deep inspection of an artist or album still happens as you suggest, it's just over a more condensed time frame.

I'd have a single CD sit in my stereo for months when I was a teen and I'd listen to it over and over, but only when I was home. Now that I take my whole music collection and an internet connection with me wherever I go, I find I'll rinse out a new interesting artist while at work/home/commuting for a few days or weeks, depending on the amount of music they've published, buy a few of their best tracks, and then they graduate to my collection to be revisited occasionally.

In effect they get as much airtime as when I played a CD repeatedly, just over a shorter span of days thanks to how portable and accessible music has become. Music is so accessible I can even explore a sizeable chunk of an interesting sub-genre on Soundcloud over a period of days. I'm truly spoiled.
Yeah, I have a sous vide as well and completely agree. I like it for cooking things like steak and chicken, but it doesn't really help me much with side dishes or desserts.

scheme is a great learning tool. its kinda of a poor engineering tool. but if you spend enough time I promise it will give you a lot of leverage when looking at problems somewhere else
Let me see if I understand this argument (with the awareness that you are attempting to restate it and not directly advocate it yourself).

When someone is being subjected to abuse in what is supposed to be a professional setting, the correct strategy for them is to take matters into their own hands and probably begin a disruptive and draining conflict which they are almost certain to lose in the end because the deck is stacked against them. Under absolutely no circumstances should the victim ask for assistance, because that would demonstrate weakness and a lack of self-respect. If only the victim had better strength of character, they could put those assholes in their places and nothing like this would ever happen again.

I really don't think I can make myself see the world that way. I don't think I want to.

> I can cook basic meals, and I still do for a few meals per week. Things like scrambled eggs, steak, burgers, and chicken.

So things like chilli, roasts, lasagne and burritos are classics for bulk cooking and aren't that difficult.

Haha, surely you should be avoiding dessert completely if you want to be healthy? What's wrong with store bought desserts?

Not knocking whatever your preferences are by the way, I'm just genuinely curious about business models such as this and things like Blue Apron. Spending money to free up time for what you want to do makes complete sense to me.
PC only booted into ROM BASIC if it couldn't find a floppy (or, later, hard drive) to boot from. Which was not usually the case, so most users wouldn't be familiar with ROM BASIC even when it was there.

The command prompt, I think, is still essentially programming - you issue commands, they take parameters and produce results. Batch files / shell scripts are outright programs, and any moderately advanced DOS user would have to deal with them.

"proportional dispensation of voting rights are important indicators of common enterprise" same author
Yeah, no offense taken.

The issue with store bought desserts is that they generally don't fit the keto diet. If I didn't want to do the keto diet, I probably would have more flexibility because there are services where I live that offer home-cooked meals delivered to you, but none of them are keto-compatible and I've only seen a few that offer any sort of desserts.
This raises the question of is it actually inefficient? I'm not so sure that trade-off of delivery worker taking parcels from the PO to a bunch of addresses in _broadly_ the same area versus ad-hoc journeys to the PO by individuals is as clear as you make it.

Not to mention you'd get huge push back from retailers (more hassle -> less orders) and users (how do I collect large items / I don't commute / PO is closed / PO is not in a convenient place etc.).

Because of the job environment, as an employee you UNDERSTAND the CONTEXT and INTENT behind the working conditions.

This logic applies to life and all social interactions.
Assume innocence, positivity and optimism in the INTENT behind the words of strangers - until they give you a reason to think otherwise.

That is extremely unlikely to be effective. People like Danny tend to be good at doing things that are hard to prosecute. Lawyers, restraining orders and reports to the authorities wind up sucking away more of the victims life while, in most cases, getting them no remedy and simply making it clear to them that there is no remedy within the rule of law. It often just deepens their frustration, sense of helplessness and sense of being victimized.

Victims usually are not good at figuring out how to effectively manage the situation via other means. If they are, well, they don't write articles like this.
