If what you say is true, then surely it would be reflected in reality.
Olive groves from Puglia are about a couple centuries old, and were originally meant to produce low grade oil for lamps.

Furthermore, at that time picking was a painstaking manual process but labor was cheap. So these trees were let to grow naturally, making it impossible to use mechanized picking today.

Overall it would be better to setup a replantation program to allow for modern and cost-effective management. I have little hope it will ever happen.

Gas eventually goes bad (over a period of 6 months or so).

But the real reason is that you are carrying enough energy to carry you, 4 of your friends, and 3500# of automobile 35 miles away in a container not designed to avoid spillage, venting vapors, nor survive a collision.

I feel like people are so extra about sex. I had more sex than I probably need to in my lifetime when I was younger and I’m not sure there was a point. Sex->restaurant->sex->work just makes you fat and unhappy. Now my life is not that stable and I work all the time so I don’t want to find a partner if I don’t think I’ll be a good one. Also not interested in dating or having sex with randoms or friends. So I guess there we have it. I wish incel guys would just focus on having a fulfilling life and learning to socialize normally and then they’d probably get a girlfriend anyway.

Interesting. I don't know much about economics or the Kelly criterion, but my understanding of the argument is that maximising the growth rate is distinct from maximising actual profit arbitrarily far into the future.

I humbly request in every conversation whenever someone uses "distinct possibility" that they quantify it with a number.

This phrase may be worse-than-useless: it creates the impression between people that they agree, but could mean a discrepancy between 0.0001% to 10%.

I know this isn't central to what you're saying, I just want a better conversational norm around probabilities during conversations in the world.

I would like to know how this guy is going to get stranded less often in a Tesla. At least with a fuel burning car he can call roadside assistance to bring him some gas. When his battery is flat they can’t bring an extension cord though.

Your friend is a precise example of the sort of person who would die before being able to make an impact on the traditions of his community. He would only be remembered in the form of a cautionary story warning people not to act like he did. Individuals tend to die from their mistakes while traditions enable future generations to automatically avoid those mistakes.

A do-loop will always execute the body before checking the condition. So yes, it always executes a single iteration, making it just a block, not really a loop. The whole point of having "do .. while" is so that you can use "break" inside to go to the point immediately after the loop.

Yes, with a single check, you might as well just do "if" instead. The actual code involved numerous such checks. Think of code that repeatedly calls various APIs that return error codes; if any call returns a non-success code, the code must immediately exit this block. You can just keep writing nested ifs, but then you start getting crazy nesting levels after a few calls, which makes code pretty hard to read. So, most people prefer to just jump out instead, resulting in a flat code on the success path, with all errors handled with jumps.

In C or C-like C++ (sans exceptions), this idiom is extremely common, and usually it's done with "if .. goto error" or something similar, often wrapped in a macro.
Scientists were accused of having spread the bacterium delierately, or allowed
to become endemic through neglect, that they have been subject to the
corrupting influence of business (in particulary solar companies who might
stand to profit from the clearing of olive groves), that they have a remedy
but will not release it, that they are wrong about the cause of the disease
which is instead a fungus that can be dealt with without having to cut down
the infected trees, etc [1].

None of the above is a direct attack on "science" in general, as a process, or
a concept, nor an attack on scientists in general. However, all these
sound a great deal like the claims of various anti-science conspiracy
theorists, like anti-vaxxers or HIV-denialists: scientists are in bed with big pharma, they spread HIV through infected needles, vaccines are what cause disease, etc.

Yes, it is quite a fact that enterprise businesses tend to adopt Angular as it has more sort of an enterprise appeal due to its popularity and being backed by Google.

I had a friend (F) interview for a FE developer position. He was more of a React adopter and he spoke with the architect (A) of the team. The company was heavily invested into MS technologies (think a lot of WCF Services)

F: So, what technology stack are you moving into?
A: We wanted to retain as much of our backend WCF stuff, while we move our front-end into Angular.
F: So has there been a project that was started?
A: Yes, we have started to move 8 of our enterprise apps to Angular.
F: Any challenges so far?
A: Well, the code seems to become a little too complicated for our developers to work on. We'd like to get it to a cleaner and more maintainable state.
F: Have you considered other frameworks?
A: Sadly, no. Company has invested more than 2 years in re-designing the app. And besides, Angular is backed by Google, hence, we seem to think that it will be the right tool for the business. We've invested a lot of time as well with it.
F: But you are saying that productivity overall is low because the complexities of your Angular code base is taking a toll on your developers?
A: Yes, in some sort of ways. There are Angular constructs which just does not make sense. And nipping the warnings and errors in the console is just a task that's too heavy and tedious. Although we like the fact that Angular can play nicely with our backend stuff with very minimal changes required on that side.

Practically, the architect was saying that the enterprise adopted Angular due to its immense popularity way back then and being heralded as an Enterprise framework.

Although my friend was offered a very good salary (by Canadian standards), he politely declined the offer, after inspection of some of the code base and the challenges that he would be facing.

> Since death is inevitable due to the eventual heat death of the universe, then from an operations research perspective it makes much more sense to focus effort on getting rid of the fear of death than trying to end death itself.

I don’t think that’s true from a global optimization perspective. If you’re trying to maximize contented moments, it makes sense to spend time thinking about how to extend life (assuming you’re talking about the number of happy moments for people who are currently alive), even if those moments still must eventually cease. Because trillions of years of happy moments is a lot more than 80-100 years of happy moments. Only if you’re trying to minimize unhappy moments does removing fear of death become a better goal.

However, from a local optimization perspective, since there is little anyone can individually do about their medium term probability of death, I agree that figuring out how to cope with and minimize that fear is probably the best strategy.

The groups that I go to and the retreat that I did are in the Buddhist (Theravada/Thai Forest and Zen) tradition (with some other traditions mixed in). If I move to a new city or do another retreat, I plan to look for something in these traditions online and then try out a couple groups. Even within a single group you may be more drawn to certain teachers. I'd shop around a bit at the beginning until you find what you like. Usually the Buddhist groups are free with a suggested donation.

There are also secular groups and given my exposure to Jon Kabat Zinn, I'd recommend the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) / Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) groups. Secular groups will typically require payment but it's usually pretty reasonable.

You could probably say that the "goldrush" has ended. To keep the metaphor going, this is like saying you can't just walk into a river, pan for gold, and make it rich anymore. Now, it takes serious a serious amount of time and investment to do well in the self-publishing world. Is there money to be made? Heck yes! But now, it's also more costly to get it.

That's interesting, what happened? I've always loved the simplicity of a couple of inhereted requirements files in Python depending on the environment. Pin the version as necessary and call it a day. usually my requirements files for local, dev, QA and production are 30 lines total. Js land is a complete shit show of ever changing dependencies with an ungodly amount of sub dependcies that will break every thing
I do wonder how much of that love is from devs who basically only know JS, and have done nothing by web stuff.

"No career advancement" is actually just fine for a lot of people, particularly older workers.

People should not underestimate the value of getting an "urban" salary in the sticks, it can be the equivalent of a huge relative pay increase.

One day someone will figure out how to be a salary calculator for remotes and this benefit will go away as employers will try to tailor the salary for local cost-of-living.
Never heard of the assertion that VCs hate remote teams. Anyone care to expand on that?

If that takes you forever, consider that it may also be your lack of familiarity as much as the lack of type system/compiler. Despite my preference for the back end, I have spent plenty of time on the front end and can pump out changes very quickly.

I wasn’t talking about high end italian cars, I was talking about cars most people use in Italy. Last time I was there I forgot my driving license and was traveling with a friend from the US, we had to rent an automatic Volvo S60 for twice the price of a manual VW or fiat (automatic is rare and in premium cars)
This is all conjecture from your gut. We are watching what rent control does to a city like SF in real time -- it is a disaster. The only way out of it is to ramp up supply. To whatever degree Tokyo has priced anyone out, it is significantly less than the likes of most US cities because it does not purposefully retard investment with zoning and rent control.

"People across the wealth spectrum" do NOT enjoy rent control. It gets gamed and abused. The bulk of SF is rent controlled, resulting in more and more people cramming into places that don't get maintained and they're not able to move out of when situations like their job changes. This is a disaster, nobody can move to be closer to work. Only a tiny amount of market rate housing is available for new residents which is disproportionately high because the rest of the market is severely under-priced.

You will never stop everyone from getting priced out. That is just the nature of things, but you can save a lot more people that pain than we do now due to foolish policies like rent control and awful zoning.
I usually appreciate a good semantic argument, but not really sure what it adds in this context? I think the root of every conversation on "remote", "distributed", or "agile" working is not how it's perceived from a nomenclature perspective, but that it's something that has to be open to everyone. You need to work somewhere where the default is non-location, only-core-hours specific, otherwise it falls down.

Am fortunate to work in a place that offers "agile" working (it's not a developer focused environment, so that word isn't loaded for us). You go where you need to to get the job done, within a set of core hours work how you need to. You can work from home independently for days or weeks on end, or you can turn up to a desk every day, or you can collaborate in a meeting room, on Skype, or in a cafe.

We have an HQ, but not enough desks for everyone to turn up every day, so there's an expectation of being fluid in how you work. Every meeting has a video conference link, and very few decisions are made by the proverbial watercooler. It takes time and discipline to make it work, but that's spread by default and expected across the entire workforce.
