Not sure about burning recyclables, but burning trash in general is more environmentally friendly than it seems. Sure it releases CO2 (which isn't really an issue if that energy would otherwise come from fossil fuels) but it's possible to scrub out most other contaminants, and it prevents the burnable materials from languishing in a landfill producing methane. It's not recycling, but it is reusing.

I'm kind of skeptical about the benefits of recycling certain materials that are so cheap that the operational costs of recycling are much greater than the value saved. This seems to be happening in the article where people are increasingly subsidizing unprofitable recycling programs. As far as I know, it's not an environmental disaster to just dump aluminum, glass, and plastic in a landfill, and it seems cheaper to just produce more of those products from their original materials than to recycle the used materials. Maybe we should take a step back and ask ourselves whether it's worth our time to recycle certain materials.
This is not a very good argument. I do my development work on my company issued macbook, but its not like I'm doing my work locally. My several thousand dollar macbook pro acts as a terminal interface for me for a HUGE proportion of my work. All my code is developed/built/run/tested on remote machines and my laptop is just a fancy interface to them.
People keep saying that China was accepting recyclables. They weren't accepting them, they were buying them.

It's hard to make a case that it was all just trash when somebody was paying for it.
Interesting, I'll look into that. Thanks
Venezuela’s economy was cracking even before their “oil crisis” (aka overspending in a non diversify). Even the countries in South America didn’t want to do business with them or be forced to take massive price cuts in order to serve their market under ridiculous top down price controls.

Venezuela created their own mess.

In C the type of a variable is "variable-centric" rather than "type-centric": it's denoted by syntax akin to the one you would use to use the variable. So if you have

int (*arr)[2]

that means "if you dereference arr, the expression represents an array of 2 elements".
So, for example, if you want a pointer to a function that returns a pointer to an array of two elements, how do you denote it? You'd go step-by-step based on how you would use it:

int a[2]
int (*f)[2]
int (*(*fp)())[2]

Once you understand this, the typing syntax should make sense, and you see that any description like spirals or whatever misses the big picture.

AV style apps can ask for a lot of permissions without raising as much as an eyebrow because they need them to 'protect' users, which puts them in a nice spot to data mine.
Interesting. This implies work gets the remaining variable mental energy. I’m all for having side projects, but given enough time, but not enough mental energy, which should get the leftover and presumably less productive bits?

That's an odd assertion. This particular guy may or may not be the guy to run the FAA, I have no idea on that. But I do know that he runs an airline for a massive multi-billion dollar corporation with multiple aircraft and crews.

Claiming he has no management experience is simply false.

Even someone who is not in that kind of position, but a major airline pilot, has significant management experience simply by virtue of the position. They're not like fighter pilots alone and unafraid up there flying around for fun.
Type-to-the-right also makes it a lot easier to find the initial definition of a variable or a function.

That is the issue that should get resolved with time.

I think it's a perfectly fine source of cash for people in need and willing to hustle.
For example, in the UK a punnet of strawberries in the supermarket has a little rectangle of bubble wrap glued into the bottom of it. It is there to reduce the amount of physical damage to the fruit. It looks like it couldn't do anything. But the food companies would love not to have the extra cost of the rectangle of bubble wrap and the gluing process. They do it because it works.
The input methods available do matter, and affect the practicality of doing tasks pretty substantially. And a great deal of development involves the building/running of code happening remotely anyway.

Because they think they need antivirus, they go searching on the App Store, and because Apple has totally failed in curation in this regard, they find them.

They subsequently don't get a virus, leave a five star review, and recommend it to their friends. See the Simpsons episode about the "anti-tiger rock".

There was, and still is, actual recycling. I remember taking the (sorted) recyclables to a recycling business, which paid by the pound. I remember watching the homeless guys in LA pick aluminum cans out of the blue bins early in the morning on trash day, presumably for the money.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the single-stream version were largely marketing (by weight). WM or whichever company picks out a few things that are valuable enough to separate, then treats the majority as waste.
OP here: Thanks for the comment. I thought I was clear that this was an experiment and that I wanted to try out things. Now that I'm using it for couple of months, I have even more things to share that are not covered by my blog post.

Out of curiosity, what did you study since I've never heard anyone in Germany earning so much out of university?
In my own life this hasn't been much of an issue. I wake around 5pm, so if there are evening plans, that tends to be my morning plans. Of course, this means I end up having a fancy dinner with friends for breakfast at times, but that's not all that big of a deal. And if I plan to work that day, I won't drink at "dinner".

All in all, my social life is pretty normal with my night schedule. I wake up around the time my wife gets home from work. We eat together and talk and hang out. When she goes to bed, I go to work. By morning, as the rest of the world around me is waking up, I handle any errands or chores and I'm back to sleep by somewhere between 9 and 11am.

The only time my schedule ends up being an issue is when we travel. But then since I'm not working, I actually really enjoy being up during the day. It's just difficult to switch schedules from "night mode" to "day mode" and back after our travels are over. It's pretty much the same thing as jet lag when flying half way around the world. It's a pain in the ass for a couple days, but not particularly detrimental.
> As far as i can tell, traditional viruses, the way the work on windows and dos systems, just wouldn't work on android.

You might be interested in reading Google's guidelines on what they consider to be a "potentially harmful application" (PHA) [0].

> [..] anything you give specific access to system functions(like drawing over other apps) to, you have to go to a specific extra permission enabling screen full of warnings to enable it.

Oh despite the on-device on-use/first-use consent, the android app ecosystem was a big mess before Google started auto-detecting rouge apps and booting them out of play store.

Even today, despite GooglePlayProtect, I occasionally find my friends complaining about apps hijacking their phones to show ads and sometimes be very hard to dismiss, and they do not absolutely know what to do (disable/uninstall no longer used apps, revoke permissions, disable notifications). They'd install anti-viruses in hope that it would help fix that.

> how can an antivirus determine between something like that and something benign

Not sure what anti-viruses do, but some examples from Google's 2018 report on how they fished out PHAs using static/dynamic analysis of apks and machine learning [1]:

1. Re-packaged game apps with data-hoarding/adware.

2. Click-fraud apps (see above).

3. Suspension of key device functionality (on a rooted device, esp).

> It just seems like you'd have to be really fucking around, [..] to install a straight up virus on android.

You might be right: A good percentage of 2bn active android users might be doing just that.

I'm not sure he was endearing. He made light of a lot of things other people take seriously, that's true. If his only appeal was an ability to wear his learning lightly, he wouldn't be remembered. There's something corrosive and more than a little bit inhuman about much of what he produced, and, for the people who approve of him, that's what makes him significant. He's not an avuncular figure:

You don't have to worry about state mutating in the body of your functions, so when tracing or debugging the action of the function you can be very single minded and deterministic.

Its especially beneficial when you're doing multithreading work. I've debugged multithreading C++ and multithreaded elixir/erlang and fixing errors and identifying race conditions is night and day.

We wrote a front end in highly disciplined functional JavaScript on react with a single source of truth object in the center. I haven't touched JavaScript in a decade, and I could debug parts and add features with 100% confidence that I wasn't messing anything up (needed the frontend in a pinch so we hadn't done unit testing yet-i know I know, it's fixed now)

If you are curious, I recommend the video "boundaries" by Gary Bernhardt, of "wat" fame.

Just my opinion, but compostable doesn't make that great of a product in a lot of places they're being pushed. I've seen a bunch of places switch to compostable silverware and cups. The silverware is a lot less durable than plastic (which is already a low bar) and coffee lids don't fit properly. One place I frequent uses them and I constantly hear others complain and discover this for themselves. I sound like an old man, but I am often very explicit about getting a mug of coffee when I order, but a different person fulfills the order and often puts it in a compostable cup.

Poor products turns people off to that technology and discourages me from ordering coffee.
I’d prefer documenting the actual behavior/rules. In the Civ example, if the 3rd try always succeeds, display 100%. If the archer vs helicopter attack doesn’t make sense, show 0%. I’m a big boy, I can take the truth. If the monsters run slower when you’re not looking at them, find some sensible way in the story to explain it. Maybe your eyes feed their rage and give them powers when you look at them.

Giving the player an artificial boost when he’s behind is like giving 4 outs to the losing baseball team.
Using apps that support Open In Place has been magical. I now use my iPad 24/7. Terminus is really great and although I was hesitant to spend money at first I just think the app is so well made. Mix that with Working Copy and it’s so easy to edit files on servers and redeploy.

Pythonista (though I’m not python person) is always great to have especially with the new keyboard. Scriptable is also magical.
I still prefer using my Laptop in most cases, connect it to a nice big 4K screen at home and the office. I also love my iPad for the usecases it is great at, like taking notes and casual browsing/reading but i would not want to use one device for all. If you do that, a Surface Pro is arguably the better choice.

A lot of apps offer seamless syncing which makes using multiple devices really easy. I can throw PDFs on my iPad via Airdrop, annotate them with the Pencil in Notability and see the changes synced immediately back to my Macbook with Notabilitys icloud sync.
Same here. Definitely much more productive after 1am historically but for the past few years I've been getting up at 5am since I can do that every day and still fit in with regular people's expectations. Working through the night is something I could only do once in a while realistically these days. So the trade off is worthwhile for me.

Lots of caffeine though..
Exactly the same - no matter how much I have on my mind, I can usually get to sleep very quickly listening to audiobooks. It has to be a book that is a somewhat interesting but not too absorbing.

Apple missed the boat on a tablet running macOS. It's pointless to even try and fill the gap created by their mistake. Because when I boot my device, I want to get to work ASAP rather than configuring 10 things.
Honestly i just want MacOS on an iPad Pro, the apple equivalent to the Surface.
It's a little more nuanced than that. The ad was produced by soft drink companies, because the tabs were strewn all over the place. The goal of the companies banding together and creating this campaign was to put the onus on the individual to clean up garbage, and defer responsibility themselves.
> No idea how they work with Linux though.

On the Surface Pro 1 you can forget using the pen input and sometimes the wifi will just disconnect until you reboot.
Aside from that Linux will run pretty smoothly.

From what I've read so far I get the impression it works better on the newer models though(SP3 and up).
Yeah, Eric Bittman at Umass Amherst is one person that reasearches circadian biology you can pick up some lingo to search for from papers.

Generally speaking, no critter's circadian cycle is 24 hours. They are all "entrained" (e.g reset) by stimuli, among which (blue) light is the most well studied. And non-24 hour circadian cycle in people can be diagnosed, and it is possible to be considerd a disability in the legal sense. But it is tricky to get testing, and insurance coverage for testing.
The irony of the anti-OOP bashers is that all successful GUI frameworks are OOP based, even those written in non-OOP languages like C.

Likewise all the functional programming languages that get used as example, are also not pure FP, rather multi-paradigm, also supporting concepts from OOP.

I think your response just proves my point, which is that people have a strong knee-jerk reaction to any level of inflation.

There's quite a difference between a 3-5% level of inflation, which helps smooth shocks in the economy and forces the rich to participate in the real economy to keep the value of their money, vs. hyperinflation, which nobody is advocating for.

It sounds horrible because, right now, it is horrible. But if someone enjoys the form factor it could likely be made not / less horrible. I mean ultimately it has most of the hardware of a laptop, minus the keyboard. There is no reason development couldn't be made at least decent on it.

I don't imagine ever wanting to give up my laptop for such a development environment but I could see myself using it when traveling to tinker / test out things or maybe making emergency / urgent changes.

The mandatory overtime is a thing in Japan, too, though it's more like 30-40 hours built into the salary, not 10. You start getting paid 1.25x with your 41st hour of OT in a month.

The way we handle it is all our bank accounts are joint accounts. We also each have our own credit card, which get repaid in full each month from our joint current account.
