I haven't written up about my 100+ hour weeks specifically, but from 2008 to 2012 I did literally nothing but work and sleep every day (7 days a week). Even eating I did while answering emails, etc.

Sleep I didn't skimp on (7 hours average a night, but that is my norm even now).

My day would start at 6.30am (sometimes earlier if I needed to call a customer in a bad time zone), eat breakfast while dealing with emails, etc, go to work around 8.30am (I luckily had a short commute), work until lunch, work on my business over lunch, work more and come home around 6 pm, eat dinner and work, then round out the day with some more work, and finally go to bed around 11.30pm (sometime later if I need to call customers, etc). Weekends were much the same except no commute.

No I didn't get sick and physically I could have sustained it for as long as I needed, the biggest side effect was my judgement started to become detached from reality. It was a very slow and steady drift, but in hindsight I can see my decisions were not always the best. Nothing catastrophic, but not the best by any means.

This was the cost of building a business when you have a family to support. I now get to spend a lot of time with my family, and while it wasn't easy, I still think it was the right decision. Four years of very, very hard work has avoided 30 years of hard work.
An Earth-Shattering Kaboom – Marvin the Martian Model Kit by Metal Earth
On higher-end models from BMW(and also from Mercedes) you can get access to a personal concierge from those companies which I found absolutely brilliant - you press a button, it connects you with an actual human being within seconds and then you can say things like "I'm looking for a car park near the corner of X, can you help please?" , They have a look, then say something like

"I found two, at X and Y - one of them closes at 9pm the other one at midnight - which one do you prefer?"

"The second one please"

"ok, the address has been entered into your navigation system, is there anything else I can do for you?"

It's actually not even that expensive, and solves the entire issue of idiotic voice recognition systems completely.
This algebraic approach to program semantics is basically how categorical semantics works. The syntactic equational theory of the simply typed lambda calculus with pairs, for example, is that of the "free" cartesian closed category. It can be mapped (in a way that respects the cartesian closed structure) into any cartesian closed category, giving you a semantics.

A monoid can be seen as a one-object category (the monoid elements are the morphisms on that object, and the monoid operator is morphism composition), so perhaps concatenative languages have categorical semantics too. (Although it seems like the semantics of "quote", or whatever [ foo bar baz ] is in forth, might make things a little interesting - ie. require more structure than a monoid homomorphism. I expect you really want cartesian closed categories, and quote is probably curry or apply.)
I agree the solution is not perfect and ideally I would nuke the language out of orbit.

But that approach will never win the hearts of UNIXy kernel devs, and I guess until Quantum computers take over we are past the point of having alternative OSes to UNIX based ones, because no one is going to spend the required money to do that.

So a migration path towards safety is required.
Chrome does seem faster and better to me too. Nevertheless I switched to Firefox some years ago (and I’m quite a Google fan). It is good enough for heavy use.
"Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

People know video games are fictional, and the worlds they portray aren't real. Alex Jones, meanwhile, doesn't present himself as a fictional character, rather he convinces people that what he says is true, and the world he describes is the real world, so he's more of a charlatan or demagogue. One doesn't have to directly and explicitly call for harassment to be responsible for having inspired it.

I read "To Live Forever" as a teenager 40 years ago and still find myself thinking about it occasionally. Probably the only SF book I've ever got all the way through! Fantastic book.
It’s both. I know banking and insurance companies that offered relocations last year, but IMO that’s to save effort hiring for the EU offices rather than moving existing jobs. Moving an entire department isn’t practical.
As someone living in Bay Area, I think the biggest reasons for loneliness here are:

- nobody shares common roots.

- it's difficult to travel to meeting places.
I have never any issues with USB HDDs with smartctl.

How do they measure this? No one has taken my sample =\
It had everything to do with it, as more and more is being forced through HTTPS, because I don't know, it's more secure or it's the only port not being filtered. There were a few times I has to run sshd on port 443 (on a server I control---a preventive measure) because a network I was forced to use (a "public" wi-fi) only allowed ports 53, 80 and 443 outbound.
> Likewise, I see people on the subway or bus looking at their phones, and I know many of them have to be lonely.

For ages I only possessed a tattered slow Android phone which I only ever used to make phone calls or send the occasional WhatsApp message. Back then I used to feel the same way about people on the subway who were looking at their phones. For a few months now I’ve been having a brand new iPhone (it was a gift) and I have since discovered to my own amazement that it’s a pretty damn awesome reading device. My backpack used to be full of books which are now all on my phone. This experience has made me less judgemental when I look around on a train and see only people interacting with their phone. For all I know, they may be reading poetry or the latest machine learning papers. :)
Sounds like the Army Reserve. A social group in your local area, structure, purpose, fitness, responsibility, progression.
Google will be doing everything to associate your behavior over all boundaries, device, profile, account, job and home as well as private stuff.

This is just one of the many changes that explicitly show that google wants all data aggregated.

You might get by for now by thus technique or that, but eventually Google will close those holes.
I am very curious to know of a bank or credit union that will open an account without a social security number.

The fun thing is that while I focus mostly on the US debt-based economy, the UK don't seem to be much better today.
The following is very YMMV. I anal and I'm not a Google employee (would love to be though!).

For those in the US, the approach I've taken is to create a Google Voice number. Yes, you need to give it your existing phone number. Then, you can give this number as a backup but the key is to use a two step authentication app like Google authenticator or authy. This is key because like any sane system, two step by SMS has rate limits in place. I don't know the details but it seems like rate limits apply even when an SMS never leaves Google (the SMS originates at Google and ends on your Google voice with no forwarding).

Long story short, if you want to fix your problem, try to get two step authentication using an app for your account(s). I think that should do it.
BurntSushi, dude you're awesome.
I love the idea of libraries, but where I live most of them are almost as bad as public transportation. People fighting, being loud, people on drugs asking for money, so it's difficult to get comfortable to sit and read. Sadly you have to go to the suburbs to get a quiet library where you don't get hassled. Amazon certainly isn't the solution, but neither is having libraries be the daytime homeless shelter.

Fair criticism. This one feature, however, is something they've recently been pushing quite hard. I'd bet on medium-term first party support.
How do you solve issue that in order to use jlink every dependency must have explicit module name? Also do you use Spring Boot with modules? (Last time I tried to make it work I failed miserably, but it was a long time ago ...).
Obviously it's the writing. You can use "reader" mode on your browser (or with an extension) to verify this.
They closed that loophole in Europe after the terrorist attacks of recent years. You can't buy pre-paid SIM cards without giving an ID anymore.
Just curious, what parts made you think that? Kate Crawford is a very well-respected researcher on the sociological and cultural aspects of "big data". Her perspective might not be purely technical, but her descriptions of these productive processes seem very in line with a lot of the other conceptualizations (mostly in the humanities) of data as labor, which I think is the most important part.
I've been running at home and at work with first-party isolation enabled for a few months now. Google login works fine for me, as does login with Google. It's broken a few internal tools, especially when people do things like hotlink across internal systems (which would have been broken at least some of the time for most people anyway, until they realise that to view _this_ page properly they need to log in over _there_). Also breaks PlayStation Network.

All in all, insufficiently broken for me to be bothered enough to turn it back off :). I do wish there was a "view from alternate origin" feature though, to let me load a site as if it were loaded in an iFrame -- that would let me work around the issues with my internal sites.
Yep inflationism :-) Though I prefer Soviet Monetarism.

It's an accurate description of the mindset, up to and including the existence of a whole army of Kremlinologists who specialise in interpreting the tones, nuances and choice of words of the apparat's public statements.

But it's not limited to the US. The effort to increase the size and lower the quality of central bank balance sheets was global. At various times in the last 10 years it was even coordinated. But of course, the special role of the US dollar in the global monetary system ensures that all capital roads still lead to NYC.
>o the code generation becomes viral, infecting each piece of code that wants to be generic.

Isn't that the whole idea?
You can get off the JDK if needed, because there are good non-JVM implementations of those languages.
I don't quite understand your comment. I think you are assuming that Firefox's containers are like Chrome's profiles, but they're not.
OpenJDK and Oracle JDK are exactly the same code (as of 11). A different license is attached, but that's the full extent of the difference.
As I understand it, they've effectively been displaced there. As other places they can go have been closed off to them, they end up looking for an alternative dry, sheltered place where it's possible to sit down and even wash; the library. It would be a real shame if libraries shut down as a side-effect of other cuts to public services.
Hi. It's not easy to talk about this stuff! Ok, you've retracted the here you must certainly realize that your argument can be used talk. I was mostly distracted by your loose use of terms, as if they don't have to be used carefully.

For instance do we have a rule that people ought not steal because it's amoral to take that which is the property of another without their agreement, or because if theft was legal then we'd see substantial harm to society? ..That's an instance of my suggestion? Are you asking that or..

your suggestion that that views based more on moral perspective, rather than rational logic, ought be able to, at least in some cases, be used as imperatives in and of themselves. I don't think I suggested that; but that's how it sounds to you, ok. I'm not sure what based more on moral perspective means exactly.

Talking about your first paragraph: Rational logic seems a very strange term to use in this (or any) context. Reason, I guess you mean. Oh, so for you, ethics are based either on reason, or some mystical/religious thing. And I'm in the second camp? Your In my opinion sentence sounds exactly like Mill's On Liberty. You're talking purely about law, where the discussion was about ethics, I thought.

My motivation to write in this thread initially was objecting to the suggestion that it's better to say "I prefer to avoid eating meat" versus "Eating meat is wrong". It sounded like 'tone policing' - it's easy to insist people remain calm when you're fine with the way things are. And that "preferring" in its vague mildness, like preferring one restaurant over another, scarcely captures how I feel about such things. It would sound bizarre to say that you prefer not to be murdered, to be tortured, to be a slave etc. Probably I misunderstood the guy I first responded to, then you misunderstood me etc.

It sounds like we are in agreement, far as I can tell. I don't believe in the kind of 'moral absolute' people get from their holy book/religion. However, plain utilitarianism doesn't fit our moral intuitions either etc etc.. I'm vegan because I don't want to be killed, abused, eaten, and I figure animals don't either. And I can very easily avoid that, so I do. But I don't just prefer that; I think everyone should. It's only from habit/custom that the reality of the situation hasn't dawned on most people yet. Well, the 'consensus' seem to be today, dogs and cats deserve ethical consideration, but not cows, pigs, sheep, fish etc. There's nothing reasonable about that. It's all-too-human to think only white people matter, when you're white, or that only humans matter, when you're human. Like The Moral Landscape says, the origin of most moral/religious/ethical feelings, customs etc is that they produce better outcomes, a better world, for people, than their contrary. And whether they actually do that, can be determined a lot more often than people think; some beliefs, customs can be said to be objectively bad. Thanks.
Also a lot of warning signs of excess credit are showing up. Covenant light leverage finance trades, hotel CMBS deals, payment in kind securities.
You are right that the article did not mention a lot of important factors in bringing down Brenton Woods. The most important being the deficit spending of the US due to the vietnam war and the resulting inflationary pressure on the dollar. The second most important was England's delusional attempts to keep the pound expensive in relation to the other european currencies despite the fact that the french and german economies were clearly outperforming England. So you have a point there.

Regarding your last sentence, I think the point of the article is that capital controls perhaps acted to prevent a lot of the inequality that emerged after they were lifted.

There is no doubt that the years under bretton woods saw the fastest economic growth and improvement in living standards of average people in Western Europe and the US recorded in known history. Perhaps bretton woods was not the only thing to thank for that, but perhaps it had some influence.

It also cannot be denied that the lack of capital controls allows corrupt leaders to whisk large amounts of money away from countries in distress or in political turmoil.

To be fair, it's not the fault of libraries if society offers no more humane options for the homeless than to hang out there... nor is it the fault of the homeless.
Nope. Do heroin 4 days in a row and you start having withdrawal symptoms. Regardless of any other factors including brain chemistry.
In the constant pursuit of better opportunities, better jobs, perfect place for ME, real social circles (family, local friendships, local communities) are slowly fading away. Unfortunately I don't see them coming back in the near future, quite the opposite.

Feels like we're all turning into a global network of weakly connected independant nodes, with no strong roots in any local network. We've become weak in that sense, because we're nothing on our own.
Yeah, my response was tongue in cheek, but I think such habits can come and go. It's not so much about learning "hey, it's bad for you", but about a social trend. People know alcohol is bad, but they still drink as much as in the 60s...

Good to have another tool for csv debris management. Especially those multigigabyte gifts that need to be in the database “yesterday”. This has happened several days or weeks in a row more times than I can count. And no, people won’t provide such things in sqlite or something sane.

I feel like I should also recommend this:

Obviously, if there is higher tax rate on higher incomes this will reduce inequality even if the net amount of taxes collected stays the same.

Your car is blue, black, red, or whatever. It may have bigger/wider wheels, a spoiler, a better radio, stickers on its back that express your preferences, those sunglasses in its glove compartment that you never use, but have fond memories of, etc.

This is very odd. How did it happen that you're the ship-steerer for this highly cutting-edge tech? Where did the research come from? Usually, this kind of stuff doesn't just pop out of the ether, and I've never seen anything quite so promising in this domain before. (Maybe I just haven't been paying attention.)

There has been dozens of "safe" additions, variants and extensions to C along the years (from commercial companies, from individuals, from university labs, ...). Not one of them ever took off. This one did not either.

We always just say "hmmm... right... this one may look a bit better than the previous one (or doesn't)" and we never bother to use them. After 20 years like this, we can conclude that we like C as it is and are not interested in extra layers.
Please don't generalize about Europe unless you're certain the statement is true.

Interestingly, Bloomberg recently had a video segment on brexit and which financial institutions would win or lose. Unfortunately, since it was video I now cannot find the darned thing.

Anyways, it had several parts and in each part there was a representative of a group of institutions that talked about his/her opinion. The groups, as well as i can remember them, were "the city elders", the fintech startups, the money managers, the large international banks, and the insurance companies.

Pretty much all of them were strongly against brexit, except for the "city elders." The city elders were represented by an old man that was very pro brexit, explaining that he would welcome lighter regulation in order to offer more services.

So apparently there are people within the city that yearn for brexit because they want to break free of EU regulations and handle hot money like in the old days. I am not sure exactly who "the city elders" are, but apparently they exist and wish for brexit.

So it seems like there are different forces with different priorities within the city. And while most institutions that actually perform most of the economic activity from small startups to giant banks and insurance companies are against brexit, there lurk a bunch of scheming old men in a dark smoke filled room sipping port and licking their chops in happy anticipation of brexit (at least that is how i imagine them ).

But as to the question whether these "city elders" caused brexit itself, I am not sure. It seems that brexit was caused merely by a bunch of opportunist politicians trying to take advantage of the anti-immigrant backlash, and that they were searching for influence and votes rather than success at brexit.
