> Maybe if we shifted our view of management as "just being a different skill set" and not always being higher paid then we'd find people without the required skills wouldn't try and obtain those positions and would focus on what they are good at.

Then how will we know who's better than everyone else and has "made it"? How am I supposed to validate myself other than by having lots of people "working under me"? The point of management is being able to tell people what to do, because they're beneath you. Also, being able to tell your friends and family you're Executive Chief Head Lead Architectural Director.
Losing someone you love to the finality of death is the most intense experience I have ever had.

I related to many parts of this; losing touch with things or ideas you connected with your person can feel like a new grief yet.

In a larger sense, one’s place and perspective in the world or the universe has been permanently displaced, and one is left trying to make sense of an absurd existence littered with traces of the one you love.
That's cool.

I've quickly learned that I much more enjoy scrapping redundant code and relying even more on the type system, with things like Higher-kinded types, GADTs, etc.

Elm for me fills the niche of stepping stone into Pure FP (pure as in purity). It's a language I would be able to convince my coworkers to try out, and once they've gotten their feet wet, they can move onto PureScript or GHCJS.

The reason why stopping at Elm, IMHO, is bad, is that it does not foster innovation and trying out things, but restricts itself purely to the subset of what the core team has discovered/learned. This makes it impossible to try out new exciting things like this "A proof-of-concept UI library based on the incremental lambda calculus"[0] that does away with the need for VDOM diffing, and other interesting things.

Don't get me wrong, there is certainly appeal to having a simple language that everyone can quickly master (like Go), but it isn't the be all end all.

And if anyone is looking for something superior to TEA but in Haskell checkout Reflex.

http://docs.reflex-frp.org/en/latest/

"React and Elm do not offer the same concept of FRP as Reflex. Reflex offers something based on Conal Elliott's push-pull paper. Conal Elliott is the father of FRP (at least of the theory of FRP), and the semantic model he envisioned is similar to Reflex, but quite different from React/Elm. I believe his semantic model is pretty superior, and Reflex implements it quite nicely." https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/5aksxa/ghcjs_frame...
>as long as they believe the government will alter the labor market for them, they're unlikely to take a risk on wage increases.

This wouldn't explain all of the times throughout history when companies did increase wages during times of economic growth and low unemployment.

This sounds like taking something that looks like a market failure and trying to frame it as a governmental failure.
I suspect Steve Jobs was an exception to this rule.

What empirical evidence are you referring to that says rich people aren't investing their money? And if it is the case that they are indeed investing, where do you suppose China's investment-centric economy is getting capital from? Who do you suppose is paying Chinese workers manufacturing goods for American corporations?

If you leave out unskilled workers (whose share of capital went offshore), wage growth among skilled American laborers has been very high... which is also what you'd expect from trickle-down.
Acetaminophen Enhances the Reflective Learning Process
I'm a contractor, so i work in a lot of different companies and get to experience a lot of different ways of working. I am by far the most relaxed and productive in the companies that are closest to ROWE (Results Only Work Environment).

If i know what i need to do, how to achieve it and and left the hell alone to do it where and how i want, i generally perform excellently. The daily "standup" google hangout as a check in on how progress is going works well.

When i'm expected to be in the office every day, given funny looks if i pack up my shit at 5pm, asked where i was if i didnt eat lunch at my desk, then quite frankly, i generally leave the contract early.

So yeah, its all about the place you work rather than the specific job you have. Being a contractor gives me the opportunity to move around and get a wide range of experience, which i enjoy. It also has the added benefits of being better paid and when you finish the contract, work related stress goes away. Might be worth trying?

> Going through and remembering the answers was always a struggle.

That's a definite hint to adjust the procedure, e.g. change the schedule. There are plenty of variables: some cards are better learned together because they are too similar, and you'd have trouble recalling them among other ones (I have this when going over geography, with countries that are in busy regions like Oceania or the Caribbean) ― you can pull them into a "filtered deck" by a tag and study them separately. Or, you do the opposite and put several decks into a grouping deck so you have to remember different kinds of facts in mixture instead of drills on specific topics.

Some answers are poor fit for one's memory, so you change them until you feel comfortable and retain the knowledge. E.g. I can't remember population of countries and cities with good precision, so I allow myself some slack with the answers.

Regarding the schedule, I found that I have to have a tighter schedule than the default, and I also employ the "bury" feature to repeat some cards. Plus, I have different limits on the numbers of new and reviewed cards for different decks.

If you find that you need more context to retain the knowledge, I'd think it suggests that you should have more cards, not fewer, and they should have closely related information, even partially duplicating each other. Maybe also have more info on each card, such as code examples. It can be time-consuming to create the cards yourself, but there are ready-made decks, including plenty on programming, and it's also possible to convert cards made for other apps. (Might be also fruitful to see how others make cards, and borrow some ideas.)

Generally, IMO spaced repetition simply "automates" the natural need of the memory to have the facts repeated to remember them―and other tricks, such as addition of more context, would also help. But, of course, for some people the right approach might be to abandon flash cards altogether and employ something else, such as practical exercises.
Interesting, since the public perception of Yelp seems to be that they're an extremely unethical organized crime-style racket intentionally destroying small and medium sized businesses if they don't receive protection money after demanding it.

Maybe that's no longer the case or maybe it's solely isolated to Yelp's sales and marketing departments, but either way it doesn't seem to mesh well with having a good culture.
NetZero, Juno: How Free Dial-Up Defined the Early Internet
Thanks. So, I'm actually doing it as a side thing while learning German. I have found I can't do two languages at once, but that learning the characters doesn't interfere.

I should finish them by April or so, and be advanced enough in German at that point that I can switch to Japanese. At which point I'll do Pimsleur and Assimil.

I think having the character base will accelerate that process. I previously tried Pimsleur Japanese, but found it didn't go smoothly compared to European languages I've done. The lack of characters was a big hurdle.

Thanks though. Is discouraged RTK learner someone who completed RTK, or someone who fails to
I agree, and I would personally define workplace stress as one of the following:

1) Are you expected to perform intractable tasks? Given requirements / tasks by people who obviously don't understand technology or constraints (i.e., "I don't want to hear your excuses, just get it done).

2) Does it feel like a "frat club" that you aren't a member of? Such as people only listening to reason from others that are part of their in-group, but exclude you for some reason (i.e., you weren't there when critical parts of the company were being built, and they don't see you bringing anything valuable to the table).

3) Does every day feel like someone is looking for an excuse to fire you? This can happen at places with stack ranking, where managers hire in sacrificial lambs to throw to the slaughterhouse or when RIFs are required.

4) This goes along with point (1). Is your department not given enough tools / resources to do the job right, so you are always in firefighting mode (doing anti-work, which annihilates actual productive work).

In Mastodon, I believe you can -- but it's more of a Twitter-dump than something as well-separated as subreddits. Each time a user follows someone from a new server, that server's "federated feed" is added to the homeserver of that user. It's not perfect, but it does mean that federated feeds do spread organically (and it does result in single-user instances spam-following everyone so that you can get a more cohesive feed).
> people have the freedom to associate in communities that censor if they are okay with it.

You'd think, but no. Some instances are run by "free speech absolutists" (in quotes, because they're really not) who block instances which, in their opinion, are "too aggressive" about blocking spam and bad actors. For example, mastodon.social blocks counter.social, preventing all counter.social users from federating with mastodon.social users.

In other words, Twitter users have to deal with the opaque decision making of one @jack. Mastodon users have to deal with the opaque decision making of a bunch of @jacks.

There’s a beta iOS app called Toot that solves this by letting you add timelines for instances you don’t have an account on.

Mastodon isn't a monolithic thing. That's the entire point. The moderation policy of the server at mastodon.social has no bearing on the moderation policy of social.wxcafe.net or switter.net. Your complaint of "it's like irc" isn't quite true, because of a number of obvious technical and user experience differences. "Everyone should be able to reach everyone else" is proving to be less and less desirable.
For instance, a snake appears near the entry for sweet basil, called ‘snake plant’ (naedderwyrt), because it was reported to grow where snakes were found and to be useful against injuries caused by snakes.

naedderwyrt looks suspiciously as though it might eventually become "adderwort". Ahh yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipera_berus (see etymology). Getting from adderwort to snake plant is pretty obvious but may be too generic.
It's interesting to note in studies comparing spaced repetition vs. massed learning, when students are asked afterward which method works better, they more often choose massed even though their own test results favor spaced repetition[0]. The upshot is people can use spaced repetition, it can "work" (in the sense that they remember the material better and test better) yet still drop it thinking massed practice to be superior.

> Their seafood is so cheap they are the entire reason why I get to eat salmon at all ($3 per pound!).

You can get salmon heads for two or three dollars at most fish markets, you might just have to ask. A large head can easily have a pound of meat. The only trick is figuring out which ones are from the wild salmon, because they often don't separate them out.

You can also usually get belly for a dollar or two a pound. It's kind of a pain to clean, but it makes a great salmon bacon that's pretty good just mixed with a little sauce and thrown over rice. Unfortunately I've never seen these separated out into wild vs farmed, so unless you manage to find a fish market that only sells wild salmon it's probably not safe to eat more than occasionally just due to PCBs.
> And how much energy is in one Coulomb. The example I like is two points each with one Coulomb repel with a force of one millions tons.

Coulombs and therefore their related units such as Farads are famous in Physics for being far too large, so this is not particularly surprising (assuming a sane distance). The capacitance of the largest capacitor bank in the world is about 0.2 Farads [1].

>When i'm expected to be in the office every day, given funny looks if i pack up my shit at 5pm, asked where i was if i didnt eat lunch at my desk, then quite frankly, i generally leave the contract early.

This. I'm the same way.

Now I only take 100% remote contracts and now I'm 2-3x more productive than my former office-going self.

Fun tip:

When someone asks "Where are you?" Then the correct answer is:

"Who wants to know?"

There are 2 exceptions:

1. It's your Mother asking. She has a right to know because she gave you life.

2. Your employer, when you are on the click. Because they are paying for your time.

Since I always bill by the hour and time everything to the minute as I go...I can answer them "Where am I" and send them a URL to the thing that I worked on.

If they are asking when I'm explicitly not billing... then either:

A) I ghost them immediately and terminate the contract

B) Ghost them the day after and send them back files after wiping everything clean.

This is the value in having multiple streams of income (rental properties, small contracts and passive income)
Someone who fails. The usual pattern is: new learner goes all-in on RtK, makes it a month or two, then gives up after realizing that they’re making no discernible progress, even though they “know” lots of kanji.

There are useful parts of RtK, but they’re the parts Heisig didn’t invent: radicals and mnemonics. You can (and should) employ both, but in the context of words. As you learn words, the “meanings” of kanji will naturally settle in your brain.

RtK people love to argue that it helps them infer the meanings of words and discriminate similar kanji. But in practice, it’s insanely difficult to do the former (except for simple words), and the latter is rarely necessary. It’s far more common to encounter 2-3 kanji compounds with unique meanings that recombine into words, than it is to find words that compose meanings from their individual kanji.

there are a handful of proposals for doing SSO on fediverse, but it isn't super high priority since creating multiple accounts (alts) is a pretty common practice here.
I personally find Mobile or desktop apps A LOT less stressful, deadlines are usually much more reasonable. On iOS at least if the app works on your test device it's VERY likely to work on the device in the wild. Given the nature of the App Store "hot fixes" are a lot less of a thing. Also given the release cycle it's often common to have a lot better of a QA process in place. In general you only need to be an expert in one or two languages (swift/kotlin or Objective-C/Java if you cover both OS's). I'm a full time mobile developer and I love it.

> All of our plastics come from oil though.

But that doesn't (inherently) emit CO2 so it isn't subject to a carbon tax. It should actually make plastics cheaper because they won't have to compete with power plants for oil.

> Renewables will help significantly in reducing the power plant power issue. Sure. But we haven’t solved the storage problem, which means that at night we need gas/coal. When there’s no wind we need gas/coal.

Markets are good at fixing things like this. Nuclear works great at night. Solar works during most of the peak load times (solar generation correlates with air conditioning usage). There is a problematic demand period between when the sun goes down and when people go to sleep, so use pricing to encourage people to do their laundry on Saturday morning instead of Friday night -- this may even save money on net.

And there is nothing saying you can't burn any carbon. If it's 9PM on a windless night then you pay the carbon tax for an hour. You're still down 95% from when that plant was operating 24/7.

> Any tax will be passed on to consumers, if not in full then in part.

It's revenue neutral. You're basically taking money from oil companies and giving it to renewables companies. That doesn't inherently change the market price at all. It's like taking money from Nike and giving it to Reebok. You get a change in the type of shoes but not necessarily the price of shoes. The only price difference is if it costs more to generate with renewables than fossil fuels -- but if that's even true at all anymore, the difference is very small.

And again, there is a plausible argument that scaling use of renewables will bring prices down. Once you have a given installed base of solar, it keeps generating power without having to spend additional resources on oil exploration/extraction/refining/distribution/etc.
I see a middle area between these two processes now. The shop owner is not executed in the streets (he likely lives at least few towns away) - but he is being robbed more often.

There are more armed robberies around our town the past couple years, and many more thefts. Sometimes by those who can't afford the area using a rock in hand, sometimes by people working at the establishment.

Sometimes it's the cars and other property in the area, however I've seen more news lately where people are following managers from and to banks to hit the bigger deposits. (recent story shows video of woman being dragged by a car) - and more reporting on how to avoid being "jugged" (I think that was the term)

IT would appear that more and more people are going for higher up the business money chain. Having items fall off the truck and stealing the pittance in the cash drawer is not enough these days,

so indeed, the needle may be moving closer to the pitchforks that people really realize.

I think most people have figured out that it doesn't matter how much you write your politician, or which party you vote for, in most places the cost of living is growing faster than wages.

Squeezing friends and family for living funds only goes so far, and so many groups are going further to the criminal side to get theirs it seems.
