Running outside.

I've lost a lot of weight, I feel noticeably fitter/stronger, and I find it really helps to calm down if I've had a crazy day at work. Sometimes I think through things, sometimes my mind is strangely blank. Either way I come back feeling calmer and more settled afterwards. I wouldn't say I "enjoy" running (getting ready to go for a run is still a struggle), but once I am out and have been moving for 5 minutes or so it feels like it was worth it as I get a little bit of a buzz out of it.

It can be a little time-consuming, e.g. get ready, run for 40-60 minutes, shower & get changed again etc so you're looking at 1.5 or more hours of time gone. I try to run to work now so that I can replace the commute with running and get showered for the day at work (I take work clothes in with me in a backpack) so that saves a bit of time.

Running on a treadmill in a gym simply does not compare - the feeling of the running is different, the scenery never changes, and its too hot/no air movement.

Best advice for anyone considering starting is: start out slow and dont try to go too fast (it feels a lot slower than running on a treadmill at the gym), build the distance up slowly (I started with just under a mile and considered that an achievement, now I do 5-6 miles or so), listen to your body - if something really hurts then stop and get it checked out by a physio, and get an app that tracks your pace and speed etc (I use run keeper but I know others like strava - run keeper gives you audio read outs on pace etc). I've found a decent pair of bluetooth headphones and a running-belt/-band to put my phone in have been totally worth it (the arm-pockets you see a lot were either way too tight or slip around too much for me)

Good luck :)

Lucked out. My son loves fruit since his baby days, so he doesn't like artificially sweet candy (or can self moderate pretty well). Halloween candy just piles up year after year. His school here bans candy in packed lunches too.

To get everyone up to the poverty line and not have to cut government projects, you'd have to triple tax revenue.

Since the average tax burden for those making $500k+ is around 30% already, that would effectively mean taxing them at 90%.

What a useless question. Just in the segment of 3D art you have: 3DS Max, Maya, MODO, ZBrush, 3D Coat, Houdini and many many others, some of which are gigabyte large and nobody ever thought they should be served as web apps. People still use offline software without problems. Even developers use large IDEs or even code editors offline. It's not like you have to download it every time you use it. Loading and linking binaries is also orders of magnitude faster than fetching resources over HTTP and executing JS in the browser.

Why do we assume that robots will replace all existing work, or that the jobs being automated won't be replaced by other forms of work or income that don't rely on jobs that can be automated?

I think it's a bit sensationalist to assume that all work everywhere will be automated.

Even if we get to the point where that happens, capitalism as we know it would crumble if there is literally only automated jobs and robots owners.

Its probably that people think its unfair to single out Microsoft when other developers doing the exact same thing and worse. Sure MS is a juicier target and you get more publicity, and they do make it easy to poke fun at themselves.

Titles like "Linux foundation's failed attempt at releasing Linux" for every single Linux security bug would probably not work so well.

On a design note, maybe its time to not require full root privileges to install/copy some files. I think Windows did the right thing, and now even the admin user cannot delete critical OS components.
The strongest argument for increased immigration is that most if not all of the western world has a declining population. Also its also not yet clear what types of jobs will be easy to automate. For example I think an assistant nurse would be very for a robot to do. A radiologist less so.

I think it's pretty obvious that on the whole, quality is generally proportional to cost.

There are plenty of times when I choose the cheapest option, but surgery that permanently affects the rest of my life is not one of them.

Additionally, I would say that buying a used car is a more apt analogy since new cars don't usually differ in any way. Different surgeons use a variety of different equipment and have widely varying levels of experience. If I saw a used car that was well below market price, I would be suspicious that something was wrong with it.
It's interesting how lifeforms can mold materials into shapes and states we'd otherwise never think of, or that maybe would even be impossible to produce. The strong silk some spiders make is another example.

Leads me to think that there are a lot of undiscovered properties of materials that could potentially be unlocked by engineering different life forms. We're pretty far from exploring all the possibilities in manufacturing techniques.
From the article:

> This would be just weeks after it raised $150 million at a $1 billion valuation, and only three months after raising at a $300 million valuation. Venture capitalists have never before participated in such a rapid and rocketing price spike.
Yeah, I listed just the nearby states. Connecticut + Rhode Island are a hole in the middle of PA/MA/NY/NJ. They're even expanding to multiple locations in North Carolina, but nothing around here.

Can be safe and will be safe, if the world at large commits to massive expansion of nuclear fuel production are two different things. Theory and practice. Modern IT systems also guarantee full recovery from any data loss. That doesn't mean data loss never happens.

In reality, we will have fuckups. More worryingly, nuclear as the fuel of the future has security implications.

The fact that the problem is theoretically solvable is important.

I'm with you, the answer depends on the specifics.

Debatable without an employment agreement. For all we know the company hired the primary developer as an independent contractor. The tweet references an email demanding the signing of an employment agreement after the fact. That itself is shady and can only enhance distrust. What they need is a dissolution agreement, not an employment agreement.

Further complicating it, Micay says the code is licensed non-commercial. So how can the company commercially exploit that code anyway? I'd be suspicious of any after the fact employment agreement attempting to coerce a re-licensing permitting commercial usage.
You run into diminishing returns pretty quickly that way. Having an advanced degree doesn't prevent a robot from taking your job. Maybe we should let the robots do the work and find something cool to do with our time instead.

You don't understand the basics concepts of pricing based on value and apparently don't value your own time. If you're a software dev making 200k a year your time is worth approximately $100 an hour, if this book saves you hours of trying to figure out bugs or digging through docs it's worth it. Plus learning graphql could earn you more money in the future through promotion or better job

The author is smart enough to charge based on that fact rather than charging for just a book.

Owning an empty building can be cheaper than owning a building that requires maintenance and more insurance because it's in use.
That's not the case at all. It's very cost-ineffective to automate low-skill jobs because the human capital has historically been extremely cheap. There's a reason we don't broadly have robots cleaning our houses, landscaping our yards, providing in-home care, picking fresh produce, or providing general construction labor.

It's the precisely the lack of these low-skill workers that will drive the necessity of automation, because the cost of hiring people will become too expensive.

Utility scale solar is definitely cheaper. NREL puts residential at $2.80/watt vs $1.03 for utility scale[0]. Its only cheaper for consumers because of subsidies and net metering.

edit: Missed the part where you are in Australia, I was giving numbers for the US. I believe its true the residential numbers are cheaper in Australia due to lower soft costs, its still true that utility scale has a cost advantage because of labor cost savings.

It's probably the 5th Street Arcades https://www.5thstreetarcades.com/

It's really a fantastic space, and it was basically empty just a few short years ago.

That said, its model is not necessarily a solution to suburban mall decay, as it was already part of a dense downtown with a growing residential population and a captive workday population that often uses the arcades as a walkway between Euclid and Prospect.

Many malls will never recover as the US simply has too much retail square footage. Along with that, they're not so great with property tax efficiency, where historic main street districts easily outperform them.

Get better at making art by making more art. The pottery class experiment is pretty famous and corresponds with what some artists experience:

http://www.lifeclever.com/what-50-pounds-of-clay-can-teach-y...

One thing to be careful about is your personal success as an artist through craft and commercial success as an artist. Commercial success requires reaching people with relevant material that engages them and is another level of skill above and beyond being able to make visions real.
Wifi doesn't work like that. Replacing all your installed wifi gear every week with the latest and greatest doens't improve much if you aren't also upgrading your individual devices. There is some room to play, but most all developments in wifi need upgrades to both routers and devices.

Furthermore, as wifi is a shared medium, your experience is heavily dependent on the behavior of your neighbors. Routers can hop channels all they want, that doesn't make more room in the spectrum. If you want to stream a billion gigs per second over your fancy AC++ router, something that requires exactly half the available spectrum, you better live deep in the woods.
A car is a >=$500/month headache. The "high end" scooters cost $300-500 and are small enough to fit in your closet. Anyone who plans on using one regularly will be better off buying one.

Lyft/Uber cars are reliable and guaranteed to come to your door in 5-10 minutes. With these scooters you have to hope that there's one around and walk a few blocks to pick it up.
> Who thinks it is "magically" fast. Some, perhaps, but enough to consider it a view held by large numbers of programmers?

In my experience, yes. Counting the number of people I've met in person and the ones whose opinions I've read online, there are dozens of people who seem to believe this. Do I have stats on this? No. It's just my anecdotal evidence. As is the rest of the list.

> My experience is that hand-tuned assembly slows down over time relative to C

My point was that other native code AOT languages do just as well or better. I wasn't advocating writing assembly, I doubt I'd do as good of a job as the people who write compiler backends.

> The text after "Line coverage is a measure of test quality" only shows that line coverage is not a perfect measure of test quality. It could still be an approximate measure of test quality.

Fair point.

> Is there any evidence for that? Or is that a myth as well?

Possibly a myth I believe in myself. It's my anectodal evidence, and I'd love to be proven wrong by actual data.

> Overall these are misconceptions that some programmers have, and mostly junior programmers at that

My experience is that senior programmers are worse, because they refuse to acknowledge they might be wrong.
It is personal information but is it personally identifiable?

For example in order to anonymize medical data you have to ensure that parties who do have access can not go from data to the person. This usually means that the database with data only has some identifiers and another database has the correspondence of identifier -> personal information.

Back to the IP address topic, it is true that an IP address plus a timestamp is enough to identify a specific computer. However, as a site owner I have no realistic mean to go from here to knowing who the person is. For example if somebody asked me to remove their data, they would have to tell me which IP they had when. (this is actually an interesting legal/technical question, should apache logs be purgeable?)

This being said to me it seems fair to specify that these logs are created and kept. It would be nice to have a boilerplate paragraph to paste to sites that only keep the apache logs.

How Big Does a Minority Have to Be to Reshape Society?
What sold me on BI was the concept that every decade the GDP per capita goes up. But we don’t need that product as much which leads to consumerism. If one guy can produce all the stuff for five people what’s the point of the other four working? We could switch to an experience or service based economy, and/or we could give people a cushion that lets them try out a lot of different things.

Not everybody knows what they want to do at 9 years old like I did. I watch friends and family struggle their whole lives with this and recognize that I was very fortunate.

That said if I had health insurance and programmer culture was a bit different I would work 30 hours a week, get nearly as much done and have more time for family and hobbies.
They said they were trying to avoid "added sugar," not sugar entirely. It's pretty impossible to avoid sugar entirely unless you eat an extremely limited diet.
> almost all real numbers contain an infinite amount of information. Since a finite volume of space can't contain more than a finite amount of information [..]

The Kolmogorov complexity can't be higher than the state of the initial system, the dynamics, and a time parameter. Even if the system's current state involves real numbers, you would have a finite description of it as long as the time values, dynamics, and initial conditions are computable.

I also think it's subtle to apply the Bekenstein bound here. Even if the numbers going in have infinite precision, that doesn't mean the relevant information quantity is infinite. For example, a qubit's density matrix has three real-number parameters and yet its von Neumann entropy is never more than 1 bit.

They have a network of independent contractors (regular people) that collect scooters off the street at night, charge them, and reposition/place them in the morning. The companies that win in the dockless electric space will be the ones that can most efficiently externalize these costs, not the ones who arrive first or buy the most scooters.
I’m not interested in telling you you’re wrong. You being wrong is your problem. I’m interested in my being right. If I can extract some information from our conversation that moves me to a better understanding of things then I have done all right from the interaction (assuming the time involved is short). The steel man allows me to extract this information from the interaction.

In practice, if someone isn’t capable of using the information I provide to re-assess their position, continued interaction is likely to be low quality. This isn’t a fault thing. It could just be that I’m incapable of interacting reasonably with this person. Either way, it’s then time to disengage.
