and begging of 2000s, my first job as programmer was in a small design company(<10 employees), people were smoking at the office while working, it really suck to come back home with smelling clothes, it wasn't until 2006 when it became forbidden to smoke at work and other public places like bars or restaurants (with some exceptions if they have special space for smokers and enough size).

Besides that, sun light is very healthy, we see all the time articles about vitamin D, I think the way of living of Italians and Spanish of being more in the outside because the good weather might influence too, hard to know for sure.

You're forgetting two relative benefits to JS - it can be written in a text editor and it doesn't require knowledge of a second language, toolchain and compiler. A lot of javascript is still hand written.

Also, deprecating JS would mean deprecating functionality most of the web itself. No one is going to rewrite all existing javascript in Rust or C or whatever and compile it to WASM.

Like it or not, as long as the web exists, javascript has to exist, browsers have to support it.
In this instance I would imagine that for browsing they would use either Qutebrowser or Surf. I run a very similar setup and use firefox, but that's only because I have about 300 tabs open in normal setup :)

Just because they run urxvt per workspace doesn't mean they can't run another program in a specific workspace, though. It's not a terminal-only setup in the same way that the tty is a terminal-only setup.
Spanish healthcare is among the best in the world despite the problems.

Maybe your comment contains some propaganda too.
Yes,and like with junk food ( junk = fake here ) the solution is provenance. In the same way we should not consume food without some idea of it's provenance we need to verify provenance of the information we consume.
There is a downside to this though .. For this bakery, if you hire someone, theres a reasonable chance they can use a spreadsheet (maybe not add new recipes etc, but use..). I'd bet is very unlikely the same will be true of SQL and emacs.

In tech/development, it's akin to someone building a system in some obscure language, because they are most productive and the only ones developing it today.. It's likely that system will end up being entirely replaced if the team maintaining it grows.

(To be clear, I'm not saying the Bakery made a bad choice, or what using obscure languages is a bad choice, or that optimising for immediate productivity through familiar - to you - tools is bad.. just that there is lots to think about when building a new system..)

This was important at the time. AOL's ad inventory converted VERY well and it was very strategic to keep it out of the hands of Microsoft/Bing and Yahoo, both of whom were serious competitors (on hindsight this was where they were actually beginning to diverge and hit their maxima). In the two sided ads marketplace this was critical to have the most and the highest-quality inventory to bring more network effects w/ advertisers getting good results.
The investment was terrible but I suppose they just wrote it down as a $1b fee to keep Yahoo off of AOL.
Not sure if it's completely nostalgia, or also an element of corksniffing-meets-Chinese-whispers.

I saw a recording forum where someone had read up on the wonders of tape, looking for the elusive 'magic' talked about. Then was surprised and disappointed at some lo-fi hissy results. Somewhere along the line, it's not communicated that the nostalgia is for 1/4" to 2" studio tape, and not a box of TDK C90's from a garage sale.
The `fmt` packages is described as being for "formatted i/o". It seems that ordered maps, while not "i/o" is reasonable to describe as "formatting", so it's fine to do it in this package I think.

`fmt` has always made things look prettier, that's part of what formatting is about.

You could equally argue that `fmt` should not round floats or pad numbers with zeros or spaces.

I agree that taking one specific animal out of a complex system that had a long time to adjust will produce big changes. Killing the wolves allowed the deer to thrive. We wanted lots of deer, so that was good for some time. Now we don't hunt enough of them, so we need wolves again.

I agree that the oceans change - a lot - due to human influence. Some species will dwindle in numbers and disappear. It takes a long time for new species to emerge. But what I'm not so sure is that the overall change necessarily would have to be so negative in the long run.

>You could make your own mixtape, which became a romantic trope and let people take creative part.

Whilst I agree, that in absence of any real alternatives, the Compact Cassette had these features/qualities that made them very convenient and ubiquitous. However, it was an inferior medium as they were a pain to look after i.e. if you left them near unshielded speakers or in the car on hot days or try and avoid having the player chew it up, then spend hours trying to spool it back with a pencil, splicing the tape etc. There was also the Zen of Cassette Player Maintenance with the 'head-cleaning' routine..

If I had to bring back a format, it would be the MiniDisc (versus the superior DAT), not only for the nostalgic element but also for it's sheer versatility and durability.
I bet the existing AOT compilers for Java and .NET are able to produce much better optimized code than any available WASM implementations.

It is possible to "turn it off"

As you say, doing new hobbies, meeting people etc. They all trigger the "honeymoon phase". Your body literally creates chemicals that turn off any depression.

The key would be for depressed people to keep changing it up and finding things they like instead of sticking with the same.

The vicious cycle occurs because a depressed person doesn't bother looking for anything, so nothing changes, so they get even more depressed.

Even if they do become self aware enough in order to make a change (as you did), they still have the mindset that "I'm doing this because I am depressed".

This means they are still not enjoying the full experience of life, as they are predisposed to failure.

A depressed person requires a hard emotional trigger to "snap" them out of it, something unexpected, something that invokes basic instincts, something that even their depressed mind can't ignore.

A simple example could be triggering survival instincts invoked by physical pain - this causes the body to take over and force the brain to engage.

The brain is no longer catatonic - it is forced to deal with the issue at hand (survival). There is no room to "be depressed". It's act or die.

This invokes instincts that activate the adrenaline in the system.

After the danger is resolved, the body relaxes and there is relief, adrenaline high. The brain realizes "hey that wasn't so bad". This high is what needs to be exercised again.

This activates the mind to start finding ways to get that high.

TIL: Depressed people need to get their first hit on getting high on life.
I'd hardly call the time since the invention of computers and the Internet "from now until the end of time".

And what the toolmaker "deserves" is decided in negotiations between the toolmaker and the people who pay for the tools. It seems they've decided that these tools are worth quite a lot.
Of course it can be bypassed and it's not very difficult. It's just that the way of filtering is different (many browsers / extensions are just Easylist/Disconnect clones)

To go further on the proxy idea, I think that the best strategy could be to actually do server-side calls to GA:
https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/hit-builder/ (yes there is an API for server-side hits).

The minus of the proxy idea, is that since you don't have access to *.doubleclick.net (which should be blacklisted by any decent track/adblocker) you don't get demographics info back into GA.

But after all, like other comments said, aren't you simply a first party tracker ?
GA is just a more evolved storage point than, let's say using goaccess on raw logs.

Having to tinker with recipes in SQL sounds really bad as well compared to editing a spreadsheet even if you were an SQL expert.

Rampant privatization?

Spain's public healthcare expenditure[1] was:

38.552 €bn in 2002, and
66.678 €bn in 2016 (latest official year),

this is a 73% increase in 14 years.

On other hand while population was

41.31 m in 2002, and
46.48 m in 2016,

A 13% increase. This is a 53% net increase in expenditure per capita. I'm curious to know what "rampant privatization" to you means, as government/public expenditure has by no means slowed down, quite the contrary.

In my opinion, healthcare expenditure is out of control. But that is a completely different debate.

The article actually boils down to (quote):

> I think not.

Another note the author makes:

> a productivity drive without shorter work hours might increase output, so there would still be a trade-off.

This could also be interpreted as an incentive to go to a 6 day work week. The article is obviously written mostly from an employer's point of view. But in all reality productivity has gone up in the past 4 decades with no meaningful increase in pay [0]. Given the current productivity levels maybe it no longer makes sense to look at the work week only as a measure of employer happiness but also think of employee happiness. The current work week is designed almost exclusively around maximizing the employer's benefit in the quest for ever increasing profits. Something that's often overlooked because employers have far greater bargaining power than employees.

Any decrease in productivity could be easily offset by increasing the workforce with benefits across the board (unemployment/economy/etc.). Except for the employer. Which is why nobody touches the work week and pay is linked to time worked instead of productivity.

This is a very important point.

Choose tools that are:
(1) right for the project
(2) right for the current team
(3) right for the future team

(3) might be hard given you don't know who joins later, and the engineers might also not have a say if they're not involved in hiring. But you can generally make decent guesses. The odds of the next baker you higher knowing SQL and emacs? Pretty low... the odds they know Excel? Probably higher.

With that said, this was still fun. I enjoy seeing technology used in interesting ways, even if I don't think it's necessarily the most sustainable way to do something.
Learn how to write a PoC of meterpreter from scratch
I agree. But you need to define that property. That's what I mean by pinpointing it. Describing what are we talking about exactly.

The fact that we are talking about it, is not enough for it to exist.

Let's say there is a ray of light from the sky. And people start talking that there's a white tower standing on the ground as high as the sky. Everybody knows what we are talking about, it's just that we go there, examine it, and it turns out it's just a ray of sun from behind the cloud.

Not such a great example because a white tower would still be much more clearly defined than the ego is, but that's what came to mind.
> I'm not sure how I'm going to explain it to the IT department if I ever have to get the laptop repaired though.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your setup, but could you not clone the Windows VM partitions to the old M.2 drive (I'm assuming you kept it), swap it back into the machine, make it bare metal bootable, and hand it to IT like that? That way your larger M.2 drive with your whole setup stays safe and secure, and IT is none the wiser.
The problem is that you're simplifying in the first place. You seem to use "entitlement" only in a negative fashion akin to "freeloading" or "expecting something for free". I am using entitlement in a legal sense, in this case being entitled to/having a claim to/a right to buy at the highest price. The German word here would be "Anspruch".

So, we can debate whether the highest bidder has a claim to something. I certainly understand the arguments for it. But there are scenarios where I do argue that this is something that should not be permitted or at least not for 100% of the available goods.

As to your point about nothing good having come from such German laws, I disagree. Health care, legal counsel, medication, among other things are affordable in Germany while they can pose an existential risk in places without such limits.

Firefox and a Windows VM are the major reasons for me to reach for my mouse. There's also nm-applet, and obviously gimp and inkscape, but I rarely use those. Oh, and cut'n'paste tends to be easier with the mouse, though xsel can sometimes be useful. Everything else can be controlled from the keyboard. (Like the OP, I use XMonad as well.)

For videos in particular, mplayer can be controlled purely by keyboard. There are GUIs for mplayer (I seem to recall anyway), but I've never used them.

Whether this is the right setup for anyone in particular depends on which apps they use often. Not everything maps nicely to the "everything is text" doctrine. But where it does, the wins are major: text is super easy to handle, index, search, generate. It's easier to record macros to handle text than to do GUI stuff. It's easier to write little tools to process and generate text than to do anything GUIish. Output of these tools again is text, so it composes in the same way that shell pipeline does. Version control works best with text. It's like tarpit of win, the more you dig in the more sense it makes :)

A Checklist to Explode Startup Sales Growth
This makes me wonder what someone with less computer experience would do, ie if you're not a former computer professional.

Sure, open source makes everything rather accessible from a monetary point of view, but you still have to learn things. I almost feel like in the past there were more attempts at making this accessible to the end user, HyperCard, dbase etc, even just BASIC on your 8-bit machine.

Nowadays? Excel/Google Sheets for the most simple case, probably, but if you have to transfer data from/into there or present it differently? Web sites and GUIs aren't that easy, but it's what the users know.

If your point of interaction with a computer is more bare-bones (eg a BASIC/DOS prompt), solutions feel closer, easier to grasp.
