This looks similar in terms of total spending to what I was doing on my own in a medium COL city out of college, but I'd strongly suggest you categorize things better so you can figure out where you spend your money. For example, you have Whole Foods, Aldi, Sprouts, Costco, HMart. Is that all grocery/pantry? What about Target, they also sell grocery, but could also be clothes along with JCPenny. You've got Tmobile and Republic wireless -- add that together for just Cell Phone. It's impossible to tell what your vacation costs were. I see some expedia, six flags citypass, and whatnot, but no direct hotel charges. Just drop that all into vacation and/or entertainment.

It's also hard to see if we're not familiar with what things are, like DCU? Is that a Credit Union for your savings account? Is that paying off student loans? What about STASH? Is that your drug budget?

Some things jump out at me though

State Farm = renter's insurance? That's fine. Your AAA is concerning though for Auto, $854 every 6 months. You can probably get that lower without cutting coverage unless $2K was paying off the balance of a brand new car and/or you're under 26. See about bundling the renters and auto and shop around for rates. Is that $750 car service plan really saving you more than $750 per year? If the 2K was a super cheap car lease, $750/yr maintenance should not be required.

You have a car but significant expenses on Uber/Lyft. Are those related to vacation travel? Or are they to get around while your car is in the shop? Or are they a designated driver for when you go out?

Where did the $800 in ATM withdraws go? That's over 2% of the spending.

So overall I'd suggest updating your spreadsheet to get some higher level categories. From there, see what jumps out at you to drill in to as something you can possibly cut. So long as you're happy with your savings rate you can actually spend money on things you want. If that's food, clothes, hobbies, toys whatever. It's your life so make sure you enjoy it.
Makes me wonder how much of helicopter parenting is caused by emergency rooms becoming probibitevly expensive?
It's a good thing CPU is fairly compressible. Unless you meter it very carefully, you'll see the performance hit and it'll not impact you that much. Very few of my physical boxes are over 70% CPU utilization on a daily average.

It's, however, really bad if you sell CPU cycles for a living. You just lost between 5 and 30% of your capacity. If you have a large building, you just lost part of your parking lot to the Intel Kernel Page Problem building.
IIRC the Miata/MX-5 was based upon the idea of the classic British sports car :)
Using Rock-Paper-Scissors and an AI engine I stumbled across a bit of a flaw in the textbook answer around this game.

The solution is not necessarily that both players will play all three options randomly. It is only necessary for ONE player to play randomly in order to reach an equilibrium. The other player at that point is free to pick any strategy they choose, including playing a single option 100% of the time.
In young males like you this condition is quite rare unless you are an astronaut, isn't it? (edit: assuming you are male, sorry if mistaken)
It's almost a given that any college party is going to have underage drinking, and providing alcohol to minors. When we used to have registered parties, there were wristbands for the few juniors and seniors that were over 21, and everybody else knew to set their cups down when Safety and Security did their walk-throughs.

Not to mention any other drugs that might get into the mix.
Why should we trust your guesses over numbers being thrown around?

Your last link is all gaming benchmarks, which as the article mentions are not affected much.
Disregard down votes, this is 100% correct. I only add:

Read up on the Dunning-Kruger effect. Realize smart people undervalue themselves, and dumb people overvalue themselves. Remember that if only dumb people ask for a promotion, one of them gets it. If you're a good employee, always shoot a little above your worth to compensate.

People are whining that it's hard to know your value, that people are timid, and many people can't walk.

I agree, and that's why they're underpaid. It's not your boss's fault if you're uninformed, timid, or scared to ask for a raise. Do what you need to do to improve your bargaining position. Then leverage it.

Thr vast majority of the supposed "wage gap" is that men feel compelled to climb the hierarchy. They take more risks asking for raises and positions- even if they aren't qualified, and even at the expense of work life balance. You can do that too, if you want the money.

Emphasis on if.
I was able to develop the habit of taking supplements by attaching them to a craving and replacing an existing behavior. When I feel hungry or eager for a snack in the early afternoon or late morning, I know that means it’s time for a small glass of V8 and supplements. It’s worked well attaching it to a craving like that as I am not actively trying to remember to take the supplement, I am just triggering it off of something that happens every day anyway.

Taking the liberty of removing the superlatives, I think this is very true, and arguably more interesting than the article:

> rewards job hopping and has a broken promotion/retention system

Has anybody seen something successfully done about this? I mean, we know about vesting and we know that interesting work keeps good people, etc., but I'm curious what there is that isn't widely known which has been seen to shift this issue.
People had the same questions about the Model X, the Model S before that, and even the Roadster before that. In every case, Tesla eventually was able to get production up and deliver. Tesla has no problem producing enough S and Xes.

The question is not "whether" but "when."
Thought about his a while back going back to my original college course (Themofluids) and did a spec application to a small mech engineering firm near me RBR Racing and Hybrid Air Vehicles out at Cardington.

Arguably, the only sane trade here would be to buy Intel and short AMD if you think the size of the move is greater than it should have been. However, there are many reasons not to do this until there is more information, and as that information comes out, it will likely be incorporated into the continual corrections in price. As to second order effects, don't count on this mattering. Unless you are planning on trading huge amounts of money, the risk/reward is probably not great. If you have to ask...
You're welcome! I made it more because I wanted a static pandoc binary. The rest came along for the ride, glad to hear its of use!

That said I really need to get back to debugging the segfault in building ghc 8.2.2 on armhf in the ghc rts. But its gotten me going through everything but ghc and whatnot. Annoying when things worked before and don't now. Even weirder that only the final stage build is at issue, the other two are fine.
Maybe offline or rarely-online screens would work? An RPi2 (no wifi) stuck in some corner, running Linux? That kind of thing.

I think the Web's far and away the most dangerous part of screens. I grew up mostly with OTA TV, an NES, and an offline DOS computer as my only screens until age 10 or 11 so when we got dial-up, which could only be used sparingly (one phone line) and sitting at a desk. All were kinda fun, but also boring enough that you'd wanna go outside and ride bikes or something after an hour or two. The modern Web is like having a cable subscription with 100 channels of only stuff you love (and most of it the crappy low-value stuff that you, nonetheless, love). It's hard to moderate use as an adult, let alone for kids.

[EDIT] yes of course you can and should just tell them no, as with other decisions they're bad at making, and I have no problem doing that, but what I'm unsure about is whether the benefit of Web-anwhere-in-the-house and Netflix and Youtube and so on are worth even having to enforce rules to begin with—maybe it's better to not have them at all, because they're so low-value compared with less distracting and addictive alternatives.
> They really dislike insider trading, it's one of the few things where even rich people can get imprisoned -- and the typical jail sentence has been steadily climbing up for decades now.

Insider trading, like many white-collar crimes, exists primarily for its value as a weapon. There is nothing actually illegal about the act of selling a stock; it's all about casting aspirations as to intent and who-knew-what-when.

In other situations, intent is usually an aggravating factor, enhancement, or affirmative defense. It is not the thing that qualifies an otherwise 100% legitimate act as a bad thing.

My anecdotal, unsubstantiated perspective is that insider trading is unlikely to be an issue for anyone who hasn't made enemies, and that it may suddenly become an issue for anyone naive enough to make enemies recklessly. cf. Martin Shkreli, who couldn't be linked to a specific "bad trade" so was brought on generic "securities fraud" instead.

Not playing ball with the people wielding these powers seems to be the dangerous thing.
Anyone with experience in formal methods want to comment on this material? I'm considering investing some time in learning about proof assistants -- how does this compare to Software Foundations?
A lot of negativity towards Elon comes from the fact he has taken on a lot of deeply entrenched interests and conventional wisdom. I know a "car guy" who deeply hates Elon and hopes for Tesla's collapse, because he has invested his whole life learning about the "beauty" of the Internal Combustion Engine, how to tune it, how to improve it etc. And here comes a guy who wants to disrupt all of that with an engine that is much much simpler and challenging 100 years of research and development. Then there are people who believe electric and solar are for "greenies" and have been trained to viscerally react against anything that is related to renewable energy. He has also taken on the dealership model, the fossil fuel industry, utilities, launch companies etc. You get the picture.
If that folder weren’t protected by SIP then malware (or broken installers) could nuke a desired and approved kext out from under you.
Surely not at "high" doses though. There is an accepted safe amount that tends to be proscribed.
The biggest danger in threatening to quit is that you only really get to use it once with a particular company, and even then you should really think about how your company would respond. I've worked with management teams that were quick to put someone into the "unreliable" bucket as soon as they threatened to quit, avoiding placing them on critical projects and focusing on making them redundant. Even in some cases with non-malicious intentions.
Agree, but only at the margins. That one thing, in and of itself isn't a reproductive failure. But over a population with varying levels of, say, hunting proficiency, there will be enough people who are already not very good at hunting and a gene that makes you 3% worse will result in them having less or no children.
This is the root cause, the fact people don't pay for their own healthcare and there's no competition. Then we layer on this huge complicated system to try to contain costs other ways.

> But if anybody gets nosey and calls child protection, I’m in a world of hurt from which I’ll probably never emerge.

I think this is a really overblown fear. Yeah, everyone "totally heard about someone" who had CPS called on them because they let their kid roam around, but I think this is mostly an urban legend about as likely as a terrorist attack. CPS usually has way more on their plate than they can handle with actual issues, I don't think they give a damn about free-range children.
This bug can be worked around. But the next one may not, making hardware-based virtualization as a secure way to run unprivileged code with max native performance unworkable. I.e. longer term if one wants to run untrusted code, it cannot be native one so any bug can be fixed without replacing hardware.
It seems fairly intuitive to me. Think of a bunch of marbles falling through a series of nets. Changes in a particular marble, or in a particular net, might let the marble fall through. Marbles that fall through one net get to try again with the next net. Evolution just means comparing marbles that collect in each net. There's a million answers to the question "how can a marble get through this net", and the nets don't care if anything gets through at all.
If this was true wouldn’t we see people in sunnier climates have less heart disease?

I think I have wondered far more often why bones aren't made from a substance stiff enough to act as anchor points for tendons, but also flexible enough to bend over and then snap back to its original shape without breaking. The bending stiffness and yield strength seem very important for the types of stresses on a biological organism.

So why aren't our bones made out of polyimide-polyamide-fiberglass composite?
Tape the bottle to your toothpaste.
I tried to find a source for this, but just ended up bewildered. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on this. For example: https://www.litigationandtrial.com/2010/09/articles/series/s...
Couldnt agree with this more! The power needs to be put back into the hands of the employee, this article is basically telling you to act like f*cking boyscout, with that being the exact type of behavior that got most of us into these situations.
Microcode is very slow. The flaw lies in operations that you want to be as fast as possible (caching, prefetching) so those operations are implemented as hardcoded logic. Hardcoded logic is very fast, but impossible to change after the CPU is created.

It is best fixed on the CPU, but it will require the CPU to be physically changed (just a new mask if Intel is lucky) to fix it at the CPU level.
Dilute unions monopoly. Bring in foreign (other states) construction/labor force competition.
Or it could be the fact that they paid 11 times as much as their parents for college and then couldn't get a job. Technology is a common scapegoat, it's not that it has 0 effect on us. Obviously fear of missing out is a real thing. However its almost never the dominating problem in our lives.
You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say he didn't know about it. I said we don't know WHEN he first knew about it, which is important in the context of insider trading.

That's your good mental health right there. That's worth a fortune. I'd never threaten to walk out on a job like that. This is where the article's advice is more useful than the commenters' :)
Portland's urban growth boundary doesn't seem terribly effective. Most of the land inside the boundary is a fractal sprawlscape of dead-end streets lined with single-family homes and 3-car garages. Most of the region's population growth is happening outside the boundary, in places like Vancouver (Washington) and Salem. Because Portland has failed to really urbanize and build sufficient housing, while having a strong economy and plenty of jobs, people are simply driving further to work and living in places outside the UGB.
There is a (painful, annoying and unfair) way around this.

Actively socialize a lot with people in your neighborhood. Including the old lady next door, local cops, teachers and shop owners. And once you know 50 persons around by name and they have your phone number, tell them one by one that you intend to let your child going out more and more out by him/herself to learn autonomy. Ask them to not worry, but to keep an eye open: they will feel important, think you are a wonderful parent and your kids will have 50 people to help them in case of a problem.

In my experience, if you befriend on average one person a week, you get there after one year.

Manichean but works wonder. Learned the trick while working in Africa.

It actually works for many other things: finding a job, getting help to do stuff, getting laid... You usually make real friends on the way, not a bad side effect.

Even in those facebook times, one-to-one human relationship are still ruling everything we do, and living in a community is one of the most rewarding skill to sharpen.

But yeah, we are not in a movie, it's a lot of work. The maintenance part is really time and energy consuming, as not everybody is interesting and worth it.
Did you notice any benefits from doing this? I imagine challenging yourself to do familiar things in an unfamiliar way has some cognitive benefits, but I'm curious about specific examples.

Almost all our carbon goes back to the air.

When I was kid, I would get on my bike and wander too far. One time I was out and a thunderstorm came along. A nice lady invited me into her house to call home.

Fast forward to university, a professor objected to me closing his office door with just the 2 of us in there (we're both male and I'm 6ft 200lbs). A colleague of his was falsely accused of being inappropriate to a student, so his policy is to keep the door open.

Achieve some level of financial security (say 6-12 months savings), then just do whatever you want.

The hard part is the former. Once you've done that the negotiation bit is trivial because you don't really need to care - you can just take it as a given that eventually you'll be paid more (unless you're taken ill and stop/slow down working).

Thank you! Do you know if this will be true for Windows as well, or just Linux?
Yes, but it went out of style for a while.

At first, computers were very expensive, and so were shared between many users. Mainframes, UNIX, dumb terminals, etc.

Then computers became cheap. Users could each have their own computer, and simply communicate with a server. Each business could have their own servers co-located in a datacenter.

Then virtualization got really good, and suddenly cloud servers became viable. You didn't have to pay for a whole server all the time, and if demand rapidly increased you didn't need to buy lots of new hardware. And if demand decreased you didn't get stuck with tons of useless hardware.

The second stage (dedicated servers) was the case when speculative execution was implemented. We're currently in the third stage, but Intel haven't changed their designs.

That depends on how much one is risking by putting their boss on the spot for an out-of-band/ultimatum raise. People can get very vindictive in response to being forced by aggressive moves like that.

If they're paying you so low that you must have a thick raise, it is probably better to go elsewhere.
