> Getting used to boxing means you get used to seeing violence and it doesn't hurt so much any more.

I practiced thai boxing for many years and it may sound odd, but I don't really see boxing as a violent sport, no more than let say soccer. I've never hit anyone (other than on a ring) and never will, and I hate violence as much as most people. In the context of boxing I see hitting as a technical move.

Besides the occasional bruises, rare broken ribs or black eyes, I've never injured myself. Most of the time, you practice with control and with various protections, wary of your partner level.

Competitions are more violent, but even there, there's a gradation. Fighters are matched by skills and weight, depending on their level use protections (helmet, shin guards), and the referee is there to stop the match if needed.

How long does it take to 'pick up' a language and framework?
I think I could be prepared for pretty much anything within 1 week of intense programming, at least enough for a job.

I have 10 years of experience, unless its something really obscure, I cant imagine it being anything I wouldnt be able to work on.

I would like to make it clear, I would not obviously know the workings like some Java programmer of 10 years.

But would you agree that it takes 1-2 weeks to be ready for anything?
Sure, but this doesn't change the illogic of a document that purports to be mutual terms of a contract, yet rejects its being interpreted by the age old institution that mediates disputes - the courts.

But if you want to talk about practical evidence, then why exactly do companies have to trick consumers into "agreeing" to future mandatory arbitration?! If arbitration is truly beneficial for both parties, then a consumers can always choose to enter into binding arbitration after a dispute arises!
If the air moves at a constant speed I don't think you'd get sound. Any fluctuations probably won't be in the audible spectrum, although whether that still counts as 'silent' is more of a philosophical question.

Thank you for such good description of your experience. My pole dance studio incorporates mild relaxation techniques into warm up flow and this works great to help me reset after a stressful work day in the office. I rarely feel the need to reset, but when I do I usually just switch to things I haven't done for a while. Music -> reading -> painting -> sports -> socializing -> learning and so on. This helps stimulate various areas and keep my consciousness well-balanced.
> Why do you presume to say what AirBnB "should not" do? You get to run your business according to your priorities, as does AirBnB's CEO.

If we followed your reasoning, most CEOs would be immune from criticism.

I, on the other hand, have a different rule of thumb. If a company does something in public, it's fair game for the public to talk about it.

>You could use this logic to criticize basically any company expenditure as frivolous.

I hope not! That's not my intention. I'm just refuting the idea that branding requires a unique typeface.

The reason this is frivolous is because the company's core business is in writing the app and matching vacationers with short term rentals. Designing a typeface seems unrelated to their core business, and is probably best left to someone else, while they focus on what they're good at.
> I've conversed with many people who have done this to themselves, and they present as drug addicts to me, not as fully-functioning, let alone super-functioning, humans. Rather than grow as human beings, they're growing as some weird alien species.

An alternate hypothesis to explain the weirdness of these people is that perhaps those who have taken their place of mental residence too far closely overlap with those who lack the social awareness to know that presenting psychedelics as an integral part of routine life in today's society will get you regarded as insane. This can happen to people, and those who have this happen to them are particularly noticeable while I suspect those who have deeply moving experiences and are able to successfully incorporate them into their daily lives to positive effect keep those pieces of their backstory under especially stringent wraps.

Anecdotally, I was able to implement an enormous increase in my function as a human being resulting from my reflections on my psychedelic experiences. In all areas from mental health to human relationships to technical skill development. The current state of my own experience of my life and the experience of all those who are part of it confirms. The primary psychedelic experience that spurred on these changes occurred about 3 years ago, and was the result of a recreational trip gone very wrong. Today, I continue to microdose 1P-LSD to subjectively beneficial effect.

Since you mention your flat, I must still insist on it actually being too difficult for the general public. Just exactly how many separate vessels, with frequently changing "clear" labelling are people going to have to keep inside their homes?

I do agree it doesn't need to be too difficult, but I think the only way that can happen is if the sorting is moved way downstream.

The primary reason I sort at home is because of the economic incentive of a larger black bin (landfill) costing more, whereas everything else is unmetered.

> you're making assumptions based on a lack of knowledge of a complex field you know little about

Well, to even form a contract, both parties have to have an understanding of what exactly is being agreed to. So it's more than a bit disingenuous to claim that the real details are just too complex for a non-insider to have an opinion.

And BTW, the trend is new enough that individual companies are still shifting between having said clauses and not after getting slapped down (eg CapitalOne), and tinkering with said clauses in an attempt to make them hold up better (eg adding a 30 day opt out period from account opening).
They're also pretty much agreeable to everyone in a way that whatever favorite beer you have probably isn't. My favorite beer is Cuvee des Jacobins but it's a very love-it-or-hate it kind of thing and probably wouldn't be a great choice for a party.

It would be helpful to have a guide to this for people running a 'low audience website' where there is no CDN or Varnish, just some Apache or Nginx server on a slow-ish but cheap VPS.

For a local business or community, e.g. an arts group with a Wordpress style site, there are many common problems, they might not need a full CDN, just serving media files from a cookieless subdomain gets their site up to acceptable speed cutting the header overhead considerably.

Purging the useless headers might also include getting rid of pointless 'meta keywords' and what not.

The tips given here could be really suited to this type of simple work to get a site vaguely performant. How to do it with common little guy server setups could really help.

He was also a prolific letter writer. A very smart friend of mine was his personal trainer when he stayed in the Hamptons, and the two struck up a friendship.

I wouldn't necessarily equate boxing with violence. They're relying on training, discipline and rules, not trying to kill each other.

Actually if it came down to trying to do real violence, I think a lot of boxers wouldn't be any more prepared mentally than anyone else. It's orthogonal, in other words. On the other hand the physical training lends some advantages in defending oneself (but also in grocery-carrying, train-catching and everything else).

I also wouldn't equate offensive hitting and defensive hitting. When it comes to defensive, what you say is true: "when the moment comes for you to hit someone in the face," it helps to be mentally prepared for it. That moment may arrive by someone else's decision.

Finally when it comes to self-defense, hitting someone in the face specifically (unless it's an eye gouge or something) is really not a good thing to do without padded boxing gloves on. Faces are bony!

The answer for the second arises from the first, to whit “promiscuous killing of citizens radicalises survivors”. The invisible but entirely audible presence of the drone is a reminder that a foreign power has the ability to kill you at the touch of the button for no reason that you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I have another pro-tip.

How to look like you know about wine when offered a taste. I don't have a great palate, but I have watched the experts...this is how to fit in.

1. Pick the glass up. If it is an older wine hold the glass at 45 degrees and in front of the light. Make a noise like you noticed something. Time for a gentle swirl. If the wine forms into streaks ("legs") it is due to high alcohol or high sugar content. Store that info for later.

2. Put the glass back on the counter-top. Palm-down with the stem trapped between your index and middle fingers swirl it in circles on the counter-top. Make it look like you feel this is important.

3. Sniff. Compost smell is considered bad. If it doesn't smell of compost or vinegar, but something more pleasant make a vague "mm" noise. Don't overdo it. Wine does not have a smell, it has a "nose". If it is fruitier on the nose than the last thing you tried, then it is probably safe to say so.

4. Now take a mouth full and suck air through it as noisily as you can, just like you were told not to when you were a child. If it isn't rancid, give an intrigued look, but don't commit.

5. Spit. A good long spit is the pro-style, dribbling is bad. If there is no spittoon, then swallow. Spitting on someones floor is bad form.

repeat steps 4 and 5. The experts always taste more than once.

6. Now the hard bit, you might get asked your opinion. "interesting" is a great play for time, maybe they will lead. If it is a red and very tannic (dry feeling in your mouth) you could comment that it would be a nice food wine. Now the magic, just like coffee, the longer you can taste it for (the "length") the better the wine. If you get a lovely mixture of spices that is still there in 30 seconds you can safely say it has "good length". If you can still taste it the next morning it either wasn't so good, or you tried a little too much.

Advanced blagging:
Wine tastes: Certain regions are supposed to taste certain ways with their own jargon. Here are a few to blag with.

White Burgundy (Chablis, Macconais etc): "minerality" is the word to work in.

New Zealand sauvignon blanc: Grapefruit=good, lemons=bad

Bordeaux: "Full-bodied", "Tannin"

Rhone valley (Chatuex-neuf-de-pape etc): Can you taste green -peppers? say so

Hot dry places (Chille, Australia, California) are supposed to produce fruitier wine than the same grape from France.

White Zinfandel : Don't admit to liking sweet white Zinfandel, unless you are on a hen-night

Germany/ Alsace: You will struggle to blag here, save it for another time.

So maybe that wont help you enjoy wine, but you can show your friends up, and really that is one of the most important things in life.

I'm annoyed by these black-or-white statements. Docker isn't terrible. There are no "better" or "worse" way to do things. It all depends on what you are doing. Sure, applying Docker with the expectation of a silver bullet will leave a lot of people disappointed, but is that a problem with Docker? I think not.

As with any abstraction layer, lower levle complexity is abstracted and replaced with a new higher level complexity. Is that good or bad? It depends. It's a boring vague answer, but it is the truth. Saying "Docker is terrible" doesn't help anyone.

Dev work contract with worrying clauses applicable after contract ends
Today I found about a worrying clause presented to an acquaintance in his new job contract as a developer. I've had a stable job for a few years so I assume I'm out of the loop and would like to know how common this is.

The clause is that for a few years after employment ends, the developer is supposed to submit to his former employer all his new "inventions" (i.e. I read that as anything newly created that is of any consequence) so that this employer can unilaterally decide if the inventions are actually rightfully his as a consequence of providing the developer with the opportunity to gather work experience and know-how.

This is for a company in the EU, for a mainstream development job with a small company (less than 20 devs).

I was aware of confidentiality agreements that extend beyond the period of employment but I've never seen something like this. Have you?

You may be surprised to learn that chess does get played in prison, not by many people but those that do indulge can end up extremely good at it after a year or two (or more!!!) inside. In this other world of chess there can be betting involved too, so the stakes can be high, which is good for improving skill levels. After all, who wants to lose a game if one's mates have bet significant sums on you winning?

Chess boxing seems to be in a similar vein of getting people to play the game, reaching out to those that otherwise might not play.

The idea is more like, "conservatives intentionally restrict regulation of businesses, deliberately shifting the burden onto the judicial system, which they also starve of resources, such that the only manageable solution is to allow mandatory arbitration". The assertion is basically that all of these consequences were not only intended, but planned.

Most of the contacts, licenses, agreements, terms and conditions, etc. that entail mandatory arbitration exist in the first place as a response to well-intended laws, regulations and judicial precedents that come from pro-consumer or pro-employee motivations. If you're an ideologically consistent conservative, you probably want to just get rid of those laws and regulations, at which point you wouldn't need a mandatory arbitration clause or, indeed, the entire remainder of the massive legal document.

I don't know any conservatives who say, "yes, in order to use consumer software, you should have to agree to a ten-page document that says you shouldn't use it to run a nuclear reactor, but only if we put a clause in there about mandatory arbitration!" I think the conservatives would rather not have the red tape in the first place.

> I honestly think there just isn't enough innovation in the newspaper industry for it to survive. Newspapers are too old school to innovate/iterate their models.

This frustrates the hell out of me. The public greatly needs the journalism, not the paper and ink. Despite decades of warning and preparation, many just can't seem to embrace the new medium and find profitable models. You can see it in their generally awful websites: Nobody designing a website from scratch, including for news, would make those choices; you could show me dozens of unidentified news websites and I expect I could easily pick out the newspapers. Also, they can't seem to embrace any medium of communication but text, as if it were 1995 and other media on computer were just being developed. They are still trying to stick to paper-and-ink layout and mediums, just displayed on a website.

The New York Times is scary to watch. I know people laud its digital efforts, but I suspect that's based only on reputation because I haven't seen anything laudable. They also can't seem to fully integrate other media; the other media is displayed beside the text, not integrated fluently into it as most bloggers or social media users could do - imagine communicating with images! Looped animations! Short video clips! Their social media manager, at least as of several months ago, was someone who didn't use social media himself. A little while ago, a NYT IT staffer's wriieup of their newly developed "text editor" was posted here - they used the term repeatedly, but it wasn't a text editor; it was a content management or enterprise publishing system; they didn't seem to know that basic terminology - at the NY Times! (It's not that I care about terminology, it's that it's a red flag - if someone referred to a CMS as a "text editor" in an interview, I'd be concerned.)
